This cold cake is not only simple to make but also budget-friendly. It features a smooth and delicate texture along with wonderful aromas, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

- 2 cups of milk
- 2 cups of water
- ½ sprig of cinnamon
- ½ cup of sugar or alternative sweetener
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Preparation:
- Heat the milk (or plant-based drink) and water in a saucepan along with the cinnamon until it starts to boil.
