Rose Vanilla Window Seat

Rose water and vanilla give oat milk two distinct aromas: floral and familiar. Both are concentrated, so a small amount of each is enough to change the whole cup. Use food-grade rose water, warm the milk gently, and taste before adding another drop. The milk should still feel like the center of the drink. A restrained rose scent beside vanilla is more inviting than a cup that tastes like its fragrance arrived before everything else.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Unsweetened oat milk
• 1/8 tsp Food-grade rose water
• 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

Rose water with a useful milk choice

With fortified oat milk beneath the rose water, the recipe can contribute calcium as well as a creamy texture. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth.

Vanilla · a reason to linger

Warm vanilla with oat milk and rose water and you get a sweet-smelling vanilla aroma in a cup made for small, comfortably warm sips.
