Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Lime zest (freshly grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 piece Fresh lime wedge (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, honey, lime zest, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk gently to combine all the ingredients.
Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling (about 5 minutes). Be careful not to let it scorch on the bottom.
Once warm, taste the milk and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a completely smooth texture (to remove the lime zest).
Divide the warm coconut lime milk into two mugs.
Optional: Garnish each mug with a small lime wedge on the rim for a decorative touch and an extra hint of lime aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy this calming, tropical-inspired evening drink!
