Instructions
Add the ingredients to a medium-size saucepan. Whisk the ingredients until well combined. Warm the mixture over medium heat until the sides of the milk begin to bubble. The goal isn't to bring the mixture to a boil, just to warm the milk.
Once warm, remove the pan from the heat, and remove the peppercorns with a spoon.
Use an immersion blender (like this) to create the milk froth. This is the secret to creating a homemade latte without an expensive machine. This little gadget is also perfect for pureeing homemade soups. If you don't have a immersion blender, vigorously whisk the milk in the saucepan as the bubbles begin to form. This method won't create the same froth or texture of the immersion blender method, but it will still create a tasty drink.
Pour the frothy milk into a large mug. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy warm.
