Milk-and-Honey Steamer

By , from the Culinate Kitchen collection
Serves 1
Total Time 10 minutes

Introduction

My daughter has taken to making steamers for breakfast, which she drinks alongside a plate of toast with marmalade. I especially like this drink as a mid-morning snack on a cold day. You can make this with any kind of milk you have — often we make it out of skim with a slug of cream stirred in — but it’s a tastier brew when you upgrade out of non-fat.

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla or almond extract
1 tsp. honey
~ Nutmeg, freshly grated

Steps

  1. In a small pan over medium heat warm the milk. Add flavoring — vanilla or almond — and honey; stir to dissolve. Heat until hot, but do not boil.
  2. Whisk until frothy, then turn off heat and let sit for a minute. Pour hot milk into a mug and top with freshly grated nutmeg.

Hey! That’s a Sohbet mug! We live just down the street from Sohbet and go there often. The steamer sounds delicious. Thanks.

I’ve often made these at night when I don’t want the caffeine of hot chocolate but still want to have a tasty warm milk drink to make me sleepy. I didn’t know they had a name! I’ll sometimes make them with a spoonful or two of real maple syrup in there, or with vanilla, honey and a pinch of cinnamon.
