- Serve in Style: Pour the hot vanilla mixture into your favorite mug—one that feels just right in your hands. For an extra touch of indulgence, top your drink with a swirl of whipped cream or a handful of marshmallows. These additions melt into the drink, making each sip a little more luxurious. For a finishing touch, dust with a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg. 🎀
- Sip and Savor: Now comes the best part—enjoying your creation! Find a cozy spot, take a deep breath, and sip slowly. Let the warmth of the drink soothe your senses.
