Method
Milk Preparation
Serve cold
Pour 2 cups of cold whole milk into a clean glass. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon honey or sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until dissolved. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon on top if you like. Serve immediately cold.
Serve warm (optional)
Pour 2 cups of whole milk into a small saucepan. Optionally add 2 tablespoons water to prevent scorching. Warm over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until milk reaches about 120–130°F (slightly steaming but not boiling), about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon honey or sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Pour into a mug and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon on top. Serve warm.
Notes: Adjust sweetener and flavorings to taste. Do not boil milk as it can develop a scalded taste and form a skin.
