Whole fresh milk (single serving)

Warm or flavored milk (optional)

Method

Whole fresh milk (single serving)

1

Choose a clean glass or cup and pour 1 cup of cold whole milk directly from the carton or bottle.

2

If desired, add 1 teaspoon of sweetener (sugar, honey or maple syrup) and a pinch (1/8 tsp) of salt to enhance flavor.

3

Stir gently with a spoon until the sweetener is fully dissolved and the milk is uniform in appearance.

4

Serve immediately chilled or with ice if preferred.

Warm or flavored milk (optional)

5

Stovetop warming

Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a small saucepan. Warm over low-medium heat, stirring or swirling frequently to prevent a skin or scalding, until small bubbles form at the edges and the milk reaches about 140–150°F (60–65°C) — about 3–5 minutes. Do not boil.

6

Flavoring

Remove the pan from heat. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon optional sweetener until combined.

7

Pour the warm flavored milk into a mug and serve immediately. Optionally top with a tiny pinch of cinnamon.

8

Microwave warming (alternative)

Place 1 cup of milk in a microwave-safe mug. Heat on medium power for 60–90 seconds, stopping halfway to stir. Check temperature and continue in 10–15 second increments until warm but not boiling. Add vanilla, cinnamon and sweetener as above and stir.
