More About This Recipe
You can use vanilla extract instead of powder if you like. I like the vanilla powder because it lets me mix up a batch of the dry ingredients in bulk and then I can just add a few spoonfuls and a dash of almond extract for a quick mug of this any old time. Don’t skip mixing the dry ingredients first, you’ll have a hard time stirring in the cinnamon and cocoa otherwise.
