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.
It's serious?? Caramel in the bottom of a glass of spiced milk? I can't believe I never thought of it I looooooooooooove this! & poor you, I'm sure it hurts like hell :/
ReplyDeleteI swore.... a lot. But a warm glass of Spiced Caramel Milk made me feel a whole lot better.
DeleteSo simple and delicious! I have to try this. Better than chocolate milk, even. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you love caramel and cinnamon, you'll love this June. Give it a try.
DeleteAny day that starts this way is going to be more than alright in my book! I think you need at least a few of them to help your poor thumb too...
ReplyDeleteI had a few of them and I was like "what thumb?" and there's not any alcohol involved, that's how good this is.
DeleteThis is a clever use of caramel. i love caramel coffee so I will naturally keep this idea in mind.
ReplyDeleteCaramel is a favourite of mine.
DeleteOuch! I have not heard of that caramel sauce, where di you get it from Jennifer? This sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's really delicious caramel Liz. I got mine from Coles where the jams and spreads are.
Deletei tried this today and as long as i have a caramel sauce at home im in trouble :) THE BEST ..i absolutely love it !!! DELICIOUS :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic Dena. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteYes, 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. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNever Kathy. I'd have to have to do more than bruise my thumb to stop me from baking.
DeleteOhhhhhh 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
ReplyDeleteIt's only moments away. I see Spiced Caramel Milk in your future.
