I can’t think of a better way to end the night than with a nice warm mug wrapped in my hands. This spiced almond milk steamer is a perfect winter drink.
Inspired by Joy’s recipe, I simmered vanilla almond milk with cardamom, cinnamon, and a pinch of ginger. The mug is polished with a little orange zest and honey.
For just 2 pts+ you can make this treat your new nightly ritual. Best enjoyed over a pile of magazines, under cozy blankets, with a cookie or two, or by a warm fire.

I tried something like this recently with plain old milk. It was actually wuite good. I might want to whip one up for myself again!
I’m sure it would be just as tasty with plan old milk =)
You know I’ve never tried almond milk and not sure what cardamom tastes or smells like, but this really sounds good! I’m always up for new things, I gotta check this out first hand! =)

I don’t know how to describe cardamom – it’s just a nice warm spice. Hope you try it soon – I love anything with cardamom! If you like Indian foods a lot of Indian dessert uses it.
This looks like the perfect spiced fireside drink. My fall favorite are Pumpkin Spice Lattes with soy and light on the syrup. OMG amazingness
I have to limit myself to enjoying only one per week – It is my Sunday morning treat!
I whipped up this steamer as soon as I read the blog post! It was super tasty and comforting. It may become a new evening ritual!
That’s awesome – glad you liked it!
This looks wonderful! I’ve been putting just a tiny splash of pure maple syrup and some nutmeg in my almond milk and it’s delicious. Must try this
I have to make some with maple syrup next time – yum!
