Method
Whip cold heavy6 cream with powdered sugar using a mixer for 2–3 minutes until soft and stable foam forms.
In a saucepan, combine milk1, brown sugar, butter3, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
Heat gently over low heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring until sugar and butter3 dissolve—do not boil.
Pour the drink into a mug and spoon the whipped cream foam on top.
Serve immediately while the drink is warm and the foam holds its shape.
Tips
- Why it works
- Whip the cream cold so the foam turns out thick and doesn't settle right away. If it's warm, the foam will be thin and collapse quickly.
- Substitutions
- In place of the brown sugar, use soft brown sugar (18 g), but shorten the heating time slightly. Instead of vanilla extract, add ½ tsp of vanilla sugar.
- Common mistakes
- If the milk boils, the drink will taste bitter. Check the temperature by hand: the mixture should be hot, but not burn you.
- Storing and reheating
- Drink right away, the foam and flavor fade after 10 minutes. Don't store it in the fridge.
- Serve with
- Serve after dinner with cookies or rusks to soften the sweetness of the drink.
