Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- Candy canes for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Warm the milk until it is steaming but not boiling, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the white chocolate chips to the warm milk, whisking continuously until the chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peppermint extract, blending thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavor.
- Crush 1-2 candy canes into fine pieces using a mortar and pestle or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Carefully pour the hot white chocolate peppermint milk into two serving mugs, dividing evenly.
- Garnish the top of each steamer with the crushed candy cane pieces, allowing them to float on the surface or sink slightly into the warm drink.
- Optionally, add a whole candy cane to each mug as a stirrer for additional peppermint flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while the steamers are hot, enjoying the creamy, minty, and festive beverage.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate chips and pure peppermint extract. This will elevate the taste of your steamers.
- Control the Heat: When heating the milk, keep it on medium-low heat and stir frequently. This prevents scorching and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Crushing Candy Canes: If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, placing candy canes in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin works wonders! Just be sure to crush them finely for the best garnish.
- Personalize Your Garnish: Feel free to get creative with your garnishes! Add whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent touch.
- Serve Immediately: These steamers are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so serve them right after preparation for the ultimate cozy experience.
