Xanthan Gum Free Honey Cinnamon Milk
Warm, spiced, and sweetened with real honey, this cozy drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on a cold evening or whenever you need a moment of calm. Ceylon cinnamon brings a softer, more delicate heat than the common cassia variety, and it blends beautifully with the floral sweetness of honey and the richness of whole milk. Many packaged flavored milk drinks and coffee shop syrups sneak in stabilizers and thickeners that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding certain additives — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just a handful of clean, recognizable ingredients. The optional vanilla powder adds a subtle depth without any fuss, but the drink is completely satisfying even without it. Everything comes together in one small saucepan in just a few minutes, making it one of the easiest comforting drinks you can put together on a weeknight. Serve it in your favorite mug and let it do its thing.
