Brew 8 to 12 ounces of fresh black coffee using your preferred method such as drip, French press, pour-over, or espresso. Use quality whole beans and avoid pre-sweetened or flavored varieties.

Step 2:

While the coffee is still hot, add half a teaspoon of Ceylon cinnamon powder directly into the cup. Stir thoroughly for 20 to 30 seconds or use a small whisk to ensure the cinnamon blends evenly without clumping.

Step 3:

Add 1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil or MCT oil to the hot coffee. For a creamy latte-like texture, use a handheld milk frother or pour the mixture into a blender and blend for 10 to 15 seconds until fully emulsified.

Step 4:

If desired, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar. Stir gently to combine. Note that lemon juice may curdle dairy or dairy alternatives, so keep the recipe dairy-free if using these additions.

Step 5:

Add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper if desired. Start with a very small amount to feel a subtle warmth without any burning sensation. You can gradually increase over time as your palate adjusts.

Step 6:

Sweeten with raw honey, monk fruit, or stevia if preferred. Stir once more and enjoy immediately while hot for maximum flavor and benefit.
