Maple Nutmeg Nightfall

Maple and nutmeg give almond milk a rounded sweetness and a warm, woody spice scent. The milk is light enough that both additions show clearly. Warm gently, stir in the maple thoroughly, and start with the measured nutmeg. It doesn’t dissolve completely, so a little settling is normal. This is a softer, less rich alternative to a coconut-milk night cup, with enough flavor to enjoy slowly without adding a long list of extras.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened almond milk
• 1/2 tsp Maple syrup (optional)
• 1/16 tsp Ground nutmeg

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
