Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the milk and molasses together with a whisk or spoon.
- Add a dash of cinnamon or ginger.
- Serve hot or cold.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of heavy cream. You can substitute molasses with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. If you’re looking for a spiced version, try adding nutmeg or cardamom instead of cinnamon or ginger. This Mo-Lassie Milk can also be a great base for a smoothie or a warm breakfast drink.
Serving Suggestions
Mo-Lassie Milk can be enjoyed on its own or paired with breakfast items like oatmeal or pancakes. It also makes an excellent complement to baked goods such as the Edible Cookie Bowl, providing a sweet and creamy contrast. For a cozy evening, serve it warm alongside a slice of your favorite cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stove over low heat to prevent curdling. Stir continuously and avoid boiling, as this can affect the texture. You can also serve it cold over ice for a refreshing drink.
