Hot Vanilla

A velvety, lightly sweet warm milk drink infused with real vanilla bean and finished with a dusting of cinnamon. It pours pale and silky with a delicate vanilla aroma and a thin milk skin from gentle heating. Perfect as a comforting non-alcoholic nightcap or dessert-style treat that's simple to make at home.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz Whole Milk
  • 2 oz Whipping Cream
  • 0.5 bean Vanilla Bean
  • 1.5 tsp Sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine the whole milk, whipping cream, half of a vanilla bean, and sugar in a heavy saucepan.
  2. Warm the mixture over low heat until small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Do not let it come to a boil.
  3. Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Reheat the mixture gently, whisking briefly to incorporate the milk skin that has formed.
  5. Remove the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds with a sharp knife back into the milk.
  6. Pour warmed vanilla milk into two 8-ounce mugs.
  7. Top each serving with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
