Warm Maple Milk
I love maple syrup as much as the next person, and lately I’ve been using it to infuse steamed milk with a subtle sweetness that makes the warm beverage feel like a decadent treat. This warm maple milk recipe is a yummy and super easy addition to your hot drink repertoire and, during warmer days, this lighter comfort drink could take the place of winter’s warm cocoa (even though this world’s most easiest and delicious homemade hot chocolate is perfect year-round.)
The beauty of this recipe is that it can also be used to make homemade lattes (tea or coffee-based) for the adults in your family. To do so, fill your mug up halfway with your favourite tea or coffee, and then add equal amounts of the warm concoction, filling the cup to the top.
Are you fond of maple syrup? The official sugar shack season is spring, however, maple-flavoured things are delicious any time of year and considered to be distinctly Canadian — doughnuts, cookies, fudge, and more. What’s your favourite way to use this natural sweetener (other than pancakes, of course)?
