Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Chicory root
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, chicory root, and sugar.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Heat the mixture slowly, allowing it to come to just below a simmer. Avoid letting it boil.
Once the mixture is warm, let it steep over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning at the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the chicory root.
Stir in the vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Allow the chicory cream to cool slightly before transferring to a container. Refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to thicken and develop flavor.
When ready to serve, spoon the chicory cream into your coffee or whisk it slightly to achieve a frothy texture before topping your drink.
