Add a pinch of finely ground Ceylon cinnamon to your morning coffee for a zap of caffeine with a sweet, citrusy kick. 

• 1 tbsp ground coffee (medium roast, preferably) 

• 1/8 tsp finely ground Ceylon cinnamon 

• 1 cup water (8 oz) 

• Optional: 1–2 tsp sugar, honey, or sweetener to taste 

• Optional: Splash of milk or non-dairy alternative

• Coffee maker, French press, or pour-over setup 

• Kettle or saucepan 

• Coffee filter (if needed) 

• Mug 

• Spoon 

• Heat Water: Bring 1 cup of fresh water to a near boil (around 195–205°F/90–96°C) in a kettle or saucepan. 

• Prepare Coffee: Add 1 tbsp ground coffee and 1/8 tsp finely ground Ceylon cinnamon to your coffee maker, French press, or pour-over filter. If using a coffee maker, place the mix in the filter basket. 

• Brew: Pour the hot water over the coffee and cinnamon mixture, following your brewing method: 

• Coffee Maker: Run the machine as usual. 

• French Press: Pour water, stir, steep for 4 minutes, then press down the plunger. 

• Pour-Over: Slowly pour water in a circular motion, allowing it to drip through (about 2–3 minutes). 

• Customize (Optional): Stir in 1–2 tsp sugar, honey, or sweetener to taste. Add a splash of milk or non-dairy alternative for creaminess, if desired. 

• Serve: Pour into a mug and enjoy hot, savoring the sweet, citrusy kick of Ceylon cinnamon paired with the coffee’s bold flavor. 

• Use Ceylon cinnamon for its subtle, sweet-citrus flavor; avoid stronger cassia cinnamon. 

• Adjust cinnamon to taste, but use sparingly to avoid overpowering the coffee. 

• Freshly ground coffee beans enhance the flavor profile. 

• For a stronger brew, increase coffee to 1.5 tbsp but keep brewing time consistent. 

• Kickstart your morning with this zesty, caffeine-charged coffee!
