Heat 1 to 1.5 cups of milk over medium to low heat until warm.

Add 1 stick of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the milk.

Once it heats to a boil, turn off the heat to prevent overflow.

Prep the blender and crack 1 egg into a separate bowl to avoid shell pieces.

Pour the warm sweet milk into the blender, ensuring the cinnamon stick does not go in.

Blend the milk and add the egg slowly to prevent curdling.

Pulse the blender while adding rum to the mixture.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon as a finishing touch or use it as a garnish.

Serve warm, garnished with additional cinnamon if desired.
