Hot Vanilla
I am almost loathe to call this a recipe. But, when I talked to my boys about hot winter drinks, 'Hot Vanilla!' resounded around the dining table. "We love Hot Vanillas, Mom!" they hollered. I know. I know. When they were younger, we went to a breakfast spot and I always let them order - and share - one hot vanilla. Now we don't eat out as much, so we make these at home. You could also call them a steamer, but old habits die hard and these are 'Hot Vanilla's in our house!
Ingredients serves 2
- 2 C milk
- 2 t vanilla syrup
- Also needed: milk foamer (I use an Aerolatte)
Procedure
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it begins to steam around the edges. You don't want it to boil!
Add 1 t vanilla syrup to each mug and set aside. Pour the warmed milk into a wide mouth container. Foam the milk.
Portion milk into the mugs, then scoop the milk foam into the top of each mug. Serve immediately.
I have never heard of Hot Vanilla but I can't wait to give it a try.
