- Dry-toast it for 2 minutes in a saucepan, then grind it into a fine flour in a blender or coffee grinder.
- Dissolve the flour in a little cold water to avoid lumps.
- Bring the remaining water with the cinnamon to a boil, then pour in the dissolved mixture while whisking.
- Add the milk, sugar and salt, then simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove the cinnamon, check the texture, which should coat the spoon, and serve hot.
