CINNAMON SPICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Place coffee and cinnamon in filter in brewing basket.
• Carefully stir the coffee grounds and cinnamon.
• Insert brewing basket to coffee maker.
• To the coffee pot, add the brown sugar and vanilla extract.
• To the coffee maker, add the cold water, then place in coffee maker.
• Turn on your coffee maker.
• When coffee is done brewing, stir coffee in coffee pot; to dissolve the brown sugar.
• Serve coffee in cup or mug with a dollop of Cool Whip, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (if desired).
• This makes: 6 and 3/4 cups of coffee.
• Note: The first few times I made this coffee, I used Gevalia Hazelnut, and the second time I used Folgers French Vanilla (for variety). I did make this in an 8 cup coffee maker, which does end up making 9-(3/4 cups of coffee each).
• Also, the first time I made this coffee, I only used 1/4 cup of the ground coffee, as I didn't want very strong coffee, and this still tasted great. I also only added 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract. I found adding the extract helps to make this coffee taste a bit smoother, and even better.
• By the way, some people may think the teaspoon of the cinnamon is a bit much, but not if you add milk to your coffee. I did make this once only adding 3/4 tsp of the cinnamon, but I've found I much prefer this recipe using one measuring teaspoonful.
