Pescatarian Vanilla Bean Steamer
Warm, fragrant, and genuinely soothing, this vanilla bean steamer is the kind of cozy drink that makes you want to curl up with a blanket and slow down for a few minutes. Real vanilla bean — not extract — is what sets this apart, infusing the whole milk with a deep, floral sweetness that you just can't fake. A touch of honey rounds everything out, and a pinch of Ceylon cinnamon on top adds a subtle warmth without overpowering the delicate vanilla. The technique is simple: gently heat the milk until it steams, never boils, so the flavor stays silky and clean. A quick froth with a handheld frother gives it that café-style foam that makes the whole thing feel a little luxurious. It comes together with just a handful of pantry staples, making it an effortless treat any time of day.
