Once at a boil, run through a strainer and serve.
Bonus: When serving, add a cinnamon stick and orange to bring out the taste!
 
3. Cinnamon Vanilla Latte
Brew one shot of espresso and pour into a mug.
Add an ounce of any cinnamon syrup and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Then fill the rest of the mug with heated milk or soymilk.
Finally, add a cinnamon stick and enjoy!
 
4. Honey Green Tea
Make green tea accordingly, add a tablespoon of honey, and mix very well.
Squeeze the juice from one orange slice into the tea and place the second orange slice so it floats in your cup.
