I love the cinnamon spice flavor of this dish and my kids love it both hot and cold. It is even good (if you have any leftover) as breakfast, stirred in with a little oatmeal. Don’t be intimidated by the cayenne, it only there to enhance the flavor of the cinnamon and you can easily adjust the amount you add if you are worried about picky eaters.
