Ingredients
Scale
Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole or 2% milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) dulce de leche
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) whipped cream (optional)
Flavoring:
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
Garnish:
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Select a compact saucepan and set it on medium heat to create a smooth foundation for the Mexican hot beverage.
- Gently introduce milk, dulce de leche, and vanilla extract into the pan, whisking carefully to ensure harmonious integration of ingredients.
- Maintain consistent stirring to prevent ingredient separation and promote even heat distribution throughout the liquid mixture.
- Monitor the heating process closely, allowing the contents to gradually warm and meld together until the dulce de leche completely dissolves and delicate simmering bubbles emerge around the pan’s edges.
- Transfer the velvety, aromatic liquid into a prewarmed ceramic mug, ensuring a smooth pour to preserve temperature and texture.
- Crown the beverage with a luxurious cloud of whipped cream, creating an elegant and indulgent presentation.
- Sprinkle a delicate layer of ground cinnamon across the cream’s surface, adding a fragrant Mexican-inspired aromatic accent.
- Serve the drink immediately while its temperature remains optimal, inviting the consumer to savor the rich, creamy essence of this traditional comfort beverage.
Notes
- Warm this comforting drink slowly to prevent milk from scorching and ensure smooth blending of ingredients.
- Choose full-fat milk for a richer, more luxurious texture that complements the sweet dulce de leche.
- Use authentic Mexican vanilla extract for a deeper, more complex flavor profile that elevates the entire beverage.
- Whipped cream is optional but adds a delightful creamy layer that balances the intense sweetness of dulce de leche.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon just before serving to bring an aromatic, traditional Mexican touch to the drink.
- Serve immediately while hot to experience the most vibrant and indulgent taste of this decadent beverage.
