Preparation
- 1
Start by preparing the toasted milk syrup. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Stir frequently to prevent scorching. Once it starts to steam, reduce heat to low and continue to cook for about 30 minutes until it thickens and turns a light caramel color. Allow it to cool before using.

While the syrup is cooling, peel and finely grate the carrot. Set aside for garnish.
