Orange Cinnamon Moon Cup

Orange peel and cinnamon make oat milk warmly fragrant without the sharpness of citrus juice. The peel contributes oils and a slight bitter edge; cinnamon adds the familiar spice note. Use a small piece of peel with minimal pith and heat the milk gently. Remove the peel when the citrus is clear enough. The result should stay soft and milky, with orange and spice sharing the aroma rather than competing to be the strongest flavor.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1 strip Orange peel
• 1/8 tsp Ground cinnamon

Make it

1. Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan; do not boil.
2. Add the spices, flavoring, and any fruit. Whisk powders well. If using tea, steep for the packet’s recommended time and remove the bag.
3. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Strain whole spices or fruit if you like, then pour into a mug.
