Winterlicious Treats #2 | Warm & Creamy Vanilla Milk

It's time for post number 2 of my Winterlicious Treats series! The inspiration behind this cosy beverage came about after picking up a bottle of Starbucks vanilla syrup the other day. As well as tasting lovely mixed into hot chocolate, this heavenly syrup also transforms a mug of plain hot milk into something of a tasty miracle. Obviously, it is only fair to share it with my lovely blog readers, so, lets get to it!



1 | Gather your ingredients

You will need: 

Milk, Vanilla syrup, whipped cream & a mug of your choice*

*Whilst my mug looks as though it is made from glass, I can guarantee it is in fact NOT made of glass, but pyrex. Do not attempt to put hot liquids into glass containers, as it will not end well, just wanted to clear that up! 



2 | Heat the milk & pour into mug

I chose to heat my milk in the microwave oven, however if you would prefer to heat it on the stove, that is also fine, and probably works better! I poured my milk into a jug, and heated it for around 1 minute 40 seconds. Please do ensure your mug/jug/etc is microwave safe!

Then pour the milk into your mug.



3 | Add the vanilla syrup

Depending on how Vanilla-ish you want your drink to taste, add the appropriate amount of vanilla syrup  using a teaspoon. Stirr it well.



4 | Add the whipped cream

Pretty self-explanatory really. Just pile up that cream as much as you want!



5 | Finishing touches

This part is completely optional, but if you want to give your drink a little finishing touch, then you can add flavoured sprinkles of your choice. Using vanilla sprinkles would make sense, however I chose to use chocolate. You could also use cinnamon, or any other topping of your choice.



6 | Sit back, relax & enjoy!

Why not pop on a festive film, grab some chocolate and enjoy your drink in front of the fire, in true Christmas spirit!

Such a simple recipe, yet such an amazingly good drink. Give it a try, and send me pictures!
