Hot Vanilla

1. 1

   In a heavy saucepan, combine the ingredients and warm over low heat.

2. 2

   When small bubbles appear around the sides of the pan, remove it from the heat and let the mixture sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Place the pan back on the stove and rewarm the mixture, whisking it briefly to redistribute the skin that forms on the milk's surface.

4. 4

   Remove the vanilla bean half, scrape out the seeds with a sharp knife, and return the seeds to the milk.

5. 5

   Pour the vanilla milk into two 8-ounce mugs and top with sprinklings of cinnamon.
