Six minutes, one pot, four ingredients. The two things that go wrong are boiling the milk and adding the honey too early.

Ingredients

Whole Milk 3.5%
250 milliliters
Honey
1 teaspoon (7 grams)
Vanilla Extract
0.5 teaspoons (2.1 grams)
Cinnamon, ground
1 pinch
Steps
Heat the milk in a small pot over medium heat until it steams and the first bubbles show at the edge. Do not let it boil — boiled milk builds a skin and tastes of it.
4 min
Take it off the heat and stir in the honey. Honey stirred into boiling milk loses its aroma, which is the only reason it is in the cup.
1 min
Stir in the vanilla and the cinnamon and pour it into a warmed cup.
1 min
Serving suggestion
Drink it thirty minutes before bed, warm enough to hold the cup comfortably.
Storage
Make it for the cup you are about to drink. Reheated milk skins over.
Notes
Lactose-free milk behaves the same. Almond or oat milk works too, but the drink then carries almost no protein.
