Are you looking for an amazingly warm and delicious treat for your afternoon pick me up? Try this Maple Cardamom Steamed Milk. I love to use oat milk but any plant milk will work nicely. The other amazing thing is that cardamom unlike most of the other warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice) have no histamine, making it a great choice for adding to a creamy drink. Adding a dash of ground ginger is another way to spice this up a little bit.
Maple Cardamom Steamed Milk
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 cups of oat milk (or other plant milk)
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1 Tbs maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Combine the oat milk, cardamom, maple syrup, ginger and vanilla either in a large microwave safe dish or in a small sauce pan. Heat over the stove until steaming over medium-low heat or in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes.
Pour 2/3 of the mixture into two glasses. Saving the remaining 1/3 to pour into a milk frother. (I have a handheld one that was very inexpensive and works super well!) Then froth milk and pour over the top of the mugs. Garnish with a little more cardamom.
Enjoy!
