Tips
- For a vegan version, substitute cow's milk with almond or oat milk and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Experiment with flavored syrups, such as vanilla or caramel, to add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.
- For a chilled version, blend the ingredients with ice instead of heating the milk.
