Fight Fatigue With 3 Holiday Milk Drinks
Christmas is fast approaching. The advent calendars are ready to countdown to the big day, presenting treats as you plan, celebrate… and maybe stress a little about your to-do list! There is so much to do with under 30 days to go. Fight the fatigue of hectic but joyful holiday events by choosing to celebrate with real milk with these three creamy and rich milk drinks.
Here are three holiday beverages made with real milk to help fight fatigue.
Holiday Milk Drinks
Skip the post-dinner nap this holiday season and fight fatigue with milk! Spend this precious time with loved ones by sipping on a pleasant Hot Buttered Rum that contains four B vitamins naturally found in milk! While hundreds of buttered rum recipes have been created since the colonial days using various spices, this recipe adds tasty milk to the beverage.
To prepare the Hot Buttered Rum, mix 2 teaspoons of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons of powdered sugar together. Add 1 cup of hot milk, 1.5 ounces of rum, and a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon. Before serving, add homemade whipped cream on top of your mug to make it even better.
For a holiday beverage suitable for the entire family, try this Spicy Mexican Hot Chocolate. Made with cayenne pepper, this drink brings a kick to the classic winter beverage. Oh, and since it is made with real milk, this hot chocolate also brings a kick of energy.
To prepare, warm real milk over the stove. Add cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla to the milk. Stir well. Add cinnamon and cayenne pepper to the milk, stirring well. Pour into a mug, garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon, and enjoy!
Or for an option that can be served easily as a mocktail or cocktail, turn to the classic eggnog. There is no need for the store-bought seasonal treat when you can make this simple Homemade Eggnog batch. With just the right amount of sweetness and a not-too-thick consistency, it is a perfectly creamy sip! Add your choice of brandy, bourbon, or rum if desired.
To make this holiday beverage perfect for the young and old, combine milk, heavy whipping cream, nutmeg, cloves, and salt over the stove. Once it comes to a simmer, in a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Ladle the hot milk mixture into the whisked egg yolks and incorporate well. Return the eggnog to the saucepan and whisk until slightly thickened. Remove your nearly finished holiday beverage from the heat and stir in vanilla. Garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon.
