Whole Milk (Single Serving)

Method

Whole Milk (Single Serving)

1

Serve cold

Pour 1 cup of chilled whole milk into a clean glass and serve immediately. If you prefer very cold milk, add 2–3 ice cubes.

2

Serve warm

Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a small saucepan. Warm over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until steam rises and small bubbles appear at the edge (do not boil), about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a mug.

Flavored Variations

3

Sweetened milk

Stir 1 teaspoon honey or sugar into 1 cup of warm or cold milk until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more in 1/2‑teaspoon increments.

4

Chocolate milk

In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon cocoa powder with 1/2 teaspoon warm milk to form a smooth paste (this prevents clumps). Stir the paste into 1 cup of milk (cold or warmed) until fully combined. Add sweetener (about 1 teaspoon) to taste and whisk or shake until smooth.

5

Vanilla or cinnamon milk

Stir 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon into 1 cup of milk. Warm gently to help flavors meld, or use cold and shake/stir vigorously. Adjust to taste.
