Scale
Drink
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup almond syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Garnish
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, pour in the almond milk and heavy cream, preparing the base for the warm drink.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture gently until it’s hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the almond syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon thoroughly so that all the flavors blend nicely with the hot liquid.
- Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully pour the hot almond and cream mixture into serving mugs.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each drink to add a crunchy texture and highlight the almond flavor.
Notes
- Do not boil the mixture to avoid curdling the cream.
- Adjust the amount of almond syrup to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
- The sliced almonds can be toasted lightly for added crunch and flavor before garnishing.
- This drink is best served immediately while hot.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative.
