steamed milk with maple and cardamom

[redbird]

This is an idea I got from mrissa, who got it from a cafe in Minnesota: heat the milk (I used a microwave, since I don't have a milk frother), then stir in maple syrup and spices.

This version has a bit over a cup of milk, about 3/8 tsp cardamom, a pinch of cinnamon, and about half a tablespoon of maple syrup. Marissa suggests starting with a quarter teaspoon of each spice, and then experimenting.

I am both a cardamom and a cinnamon fan, but think I may want to try it without cinnamon next time, just maple and cardamom.

Sounds tasty. Sort of like cocoa, only alternate. Hub looks at me funny when I suggest a non-chocolate dessert, and I tell him, "Chocolate is King, but there are other flavors in the court." It's easy to overlook things you might enjoy when you always go with old standbys.

I hear you. I live in a household of chocoholics.
