Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of nutmeg
- A pinch of sea salt
Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. Coconut sugar can be used as an alternative, providing a caramel-like depth that pairs beautifully with the spices. As my mum always said, cooking is about making it your own, so don’t hesitate to experiment!
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and sea salt.
- Stir continuously to prevent the milk from scorching. This gentle attention is much like the care I learned from my mum when she’d let me stir the pot as a girl.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the spices to infuse the milk fully. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once heated through and fragrant, remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice levels as desired.
- Pour into your favorite mugs, and if you’re feeling indulgent, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
Remember, the key to a perfect cup is patience and love. Just as my childhood kitchen was filled with laughter and warmth, let your kitchen be filled with the joy of creating.
