1 c of your favorite milk. I like cow’s milk for it’s nourishing vata balancing qualities. Plant based milk is a great alternative. Heat milk heat until simmering. Whisk for extra froth. If you have a bamboo whisk is perfect for this.
Sweeten with maple syrup or your favorite natural sweetener.
Serve in your favorite mug! Garnish with a sprinkle on cinnamon.
