Instructions
- Gently warm milk in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling.
- Whisk in sweetened condensed milk, sugar and vanilla until melted or evenly dispersed.
- For chocolate solids, keep heat gentle and whisk until glossy; for coffee drinks, add freshly prepared coffee.
- For this original coconut adaptation, add 45 ml unsweetened coconut cream to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
- Pour the fully combined warm drink into two heat-safe mugs and serve immediately.
Tips
- Contains a possible caffeine source; exact caffeine per serving varies with products and extraction.
