Ginger Vanilla Soft Socks

Fresh ginger gives vanilla oat milk a warming edge that keeps it from feeling like a purely sweet, soft cup. Vanilla adds aroma, while ginger provides the more assertive flavor. Warm the milk gently and let a small amount of ginger infuse before tasting. You can remove the pieces when the warmth suits you. This is best when the ginger adds interest between milky sips, rather than making the vanilla impossible to notice.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 2 slice Fresh ginger
• 1/8 tsp Alcohol-free vanilla flavoring

Make it

1. Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan; do not boil.
2. Add the spices, flavoring, and any fruit. Whisk powders well. If using tea, steep for the packet’s recommended time and remove the bag.
3. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Strain whole spices or fruit if you like, then pour into a mug.

Benefits

Ginger with a useful milk choice

A calcium-fortified oat milk adds a bone-and-teeth nutrient to the ginger pairing. Check the carton when choosing your base; fortification varies.

Ginger beside oat milk and vanilla

Using 2 slices of ginger adds a peppery warmth to the warm oat milk and vanilla, bringing aroma as well as taste to this combination.
