Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Ripe pear
- 2 cups Whole milk (or alternative milk)
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the pear, remove the core, and chop it into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped pear, milk, and cinnamon stick.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching.
Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pear has softened and the milk is infused with the cinnamon aroma.
Remove the saucepan from heat, then discard the cinnamon stick.
Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Be careful with blending hot liquids—leave the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, or let the mixture cool slightly before blending.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve back into the saucepan to remove any remaining solids, if desired.
Stir in the honey (if using) and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Reheat gently if necessary, then pour into serving mugs.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for garnish and serve warm. Enjoy!
