Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Heat the Milk

    In a medium saucepan, pour the whole milk and heat it over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

  2. 2

    Add Brown Sugar

    Once the milk is warm (but not boiling), add in the brown sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar completely dissolves into the milk.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Vanilla

    After the brown sugar has dissolved, add the vanilla extract and stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor. Stir until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the milky brown sugar mixture into mugs. Serve warm.
