DD (toddler) and I liked this a lot. It's really good with the cinnamon on top. A nice creamy drink, just right, not to heavy or too sweet. I used plain rice milk for just the milk part. Instead of a vanilla bean I used vanilla paste which has flecks of vanilla bean in it and is very good in this. I used white sugar. I will make this again.

I used to love getting hot milk with a splash of vanilla syrup at the bookstore... it made browsing that much more enjoyable. This is just what I was looking for on this chilly night... almost a duplicate! I do not sprinkle the cinnamon on top and use organic 2% milk and vanilla sugar... I could drink both servings by myself!!! So warming and comforting when you want a hot drink but aren't in the mood for chocolate! Thanks for sharing!
