Instructions

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the milk before blending.
  • 💡 If you prefer a lighter drink, use low-fat or almond milk for a slightly different flavor.
  • 💡 For a decadent twist, sprinkle some extra cinnamon or even a pinch of sea salt on top of the whipped cream.
