Vanilla Caramel Milk
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. The sugar will form clumps and eventually melt into a thick brown, amber-colored liquid as you continue to stir. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
- Once the sugar has completely melted, immediately add 2 cups of whole milk to the saucepan. Be cautious as the caramel will bubble rapidly when the milk is added.
- Continue to cook and stir until the caramel is completely dissolved into the milk, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the caramel milk into mugs or glasses and serve hot. Enjoy!
Caramel milk infused with a hint of vanilla is a decadent and creamy beverage that has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. This indulgent treat is believed to have originated in France, where skilled chefs in the royal kitchens first experimented with combining caramelized sugar, milk, and fragrant vanilla. Over time, the recipe spread throughout Europe and beyond, becoming a beloved drink in cafes and households alike. Today, the best version of this luscious drink can be found in artisanal cafes and patisseries, where expert baristas and pastry chefs carefully craft each serving. The key to achieving the perfect balance of flavors lies in the quality of the ingredients, with rich, creamy milk, high-quality vanilla beans, and perfectly caramelized sugar being essential. For those looking to recreate this indulgent beverage at home, there are alternative methods for making caramel milk, such as using caramel syrup or condensed milk for a shortcut version. However, purists argue that nothing quite compares to the depth of flavor achieved through the traditional method of slowly caramelizing sugar and infusing it with warm, velvety milk and aromatic vanilla. Whether enjoyed as a comforting drink on a chilly evening or served alongside a sumptuous dessert, caramel milk with a hint of vanilla continues to captivate the senses and delight the palate with its timeless allure.
