With 5 minutes left, drop heat to simmer and add cinnamon, cayenne (1/2 tbs

Tasting notes:

Not carb'ed yet, but I think this one is quite nice. I originally did it with a full tbs of cayenne... it's a bit hot. Sort of overpowers. Not terribly, but it would be better if the spice were more subtle. The cinnamon is so far nowhere to be found. Overall though, it seems tasty.
