Wheat Free Vanilla Bean Steamer
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, this vanilla bean steamer is the kind of drink that makes you want to curl up on the couch and do absolutely nothing. Real vanilla bean seeds steeped directly in whole milk give it a richness and depth that no syrup or extract can match. A touch of honey rounds out the sweetness naturally, and a dusting of Ceylon cinnamon adds a gentle, almost floral spice that feels a little fancy without any extra effort. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there's no label-reading required and no substitutions to stress over. It comes together in one small saucepan and a mug, which means cleanup is minimal and the reward is immediate. This is the kind of cozy, café-style drink you can make on a weeknight and feel genuinely good about.
