Easy Recipe Delight: Hazelnut Milk

Hi there! This is Vivian. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  As it gets colder day by day, it gets harder getting out of bed especially when its raining so much like in Vancouver :(  I just want to snug in bed and hybernate forever until the summer comes back again - yawn...!  So today I would like to introduce you to a drink that is as cozy as a duck down duvet.  Read more after the jump!


 

* what you need:

- Milk

- Hazelnut syrup

- Milk pot 

- Frother (or a whisk)

- Your favorite mugs

          + Your favorite person (in my case, my hubby)

1. Warm your milk on low heat. Make sure your stove in on low because you don't want to boil your milk. Boiling you milk will ruthlessly destroy the nutrients in milk.

2. While milk is warming, add hazelnut syrup into your mug. The syrup is pretty sweet so I only added 2 pumps.

3. Turn off the heat once bubbles start to form on the edge of the pot. Scalding milk will cause that ikky protein film and also scorch the flavour of milk.

4. Pour milk into mug and stir it. If you don't have a frother, using a hand whisk, whisk warm milk in a deep bowl before pouring into mug. 

5. Froth. Becareful not to overflow it! (which i did..lol)

6. Now enjoy with your loved ones.

I had it with La Chocolaterie's earl grey chocolate which I got at cloverdale's craft fair last weekend. Here is a link to their website:  http://coconama.com

It's been raining a lot in Vancouver lately and unfortunately I don't get along with it too well...

However, a cup of warm hazelnut milk with my hun in front of the fireplace made the sound of the rain sound like music.

Wishing you all a very warm and romantic day as well.   

xoxo Vivian
