Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and place over medium-low heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and the sugar to the saucepan.
Gently whisk the mixture to dissolve the sugar and evenly distribute the vanilla.
Heat the milk mixture for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling. Look for small bubbles forming along the edges, which indicates it is heated enough.
Carefully pour the hot vanilla milk into two mugs.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, soothing drink!
