Spiced Caramel Milk










I'm not sure what my weekend has in store for me yet. There's market day on Saturday and watching my sons play football on Sunday morning, but the rest of the time is unplanned thus far. One thing I do know, is that I'll be taking time-out for one of these. A big splodge of caramel dwelling at the bottom of a glass of warm, delicately perfumed milk. I'll be inhaling it, literally and figuratively. However you spend your weekend, I hope it's delicious. x

BTW: I jammed my thumb in the dishwasher... just in case you were wondering.



Spiced Caramel Milk
slightly adapted from Donna Hay
Makes 1

2 tablespoons caramel sauce (I used Bonne Maman)
Pinch salt (I used Pink Himalaya salt)
1 cup milk
1 cinnamon stick
Freshly ground nutmeg

Spoon the caramel sauce into the base of a glass and add the pinch of salt.

Heat the milk and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan until it almost boils. Remove the cinnamon stick, strain into the glass. Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve with a spoon.

    1. I had a few of them and I was like "what thumb?" and there's not any alcohol involved, that's how good this is.

  7. Yes, I was wondering. Ouch! Hope your thumb feels better soon... I wouldn't want that to get in the way of more scrumptious baked goods that make me drool with envy. ;-)

    1. Never Kathy. I'd have to have to do more than bruise my thumb to stop me from baking.

  8. Ohhhhhh gosh. This looks dangerous Jen! I have that exact caramel sauce dwelling in my refrigerator right now... I shall not be using it as I don't like gloriously spiced, warm and creamy caramel milk. Not at all (darn it, who am I kidding? I want this, like, now!!) x
