Equipment

  • 1 pot

Ingredients
  

  • milk or water
  • brown sugar or piloncillo
  • Cinnamon Stick
  • Instant Nescafe
  • Cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Set the stovetop to a low medium heat level. Pour milk into the pot and add the cinnamon stick.
  • Add Instant Nescafe to taste, I added 1 spoon because I don't drink too much coffee. Along with the Nescafe add brown sugar or the sweetener you prefer. Stir with a whisk occasionally.
  • In a different bowl, add 2 tsp of corn starch and pour a splash of cold milk. Stir with a fork until it has no clumps.
  • Slowly pour the cornstarch and mixture into the pot while stirring until it becomes thickened.
  • You can take the cinnamon stick out if you'd like, I keep mine in. Pour into your mug and enjoy.
