1 serving
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
- 1–2 tsp honey, to taste
- 1 pinch ground ceylon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the milk, vanilla bean pod, and scraped vanilla seeds in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the milk is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges — about 5–6 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- 2
Remove the vanilla bean pod. Stir in the honey until fully dissolved.
