Ingredients

For this cozy drink, you’ll need a few tasty ingredients that blend perfectly together.

1 cup cherries: Fresh or frozen pitted

1 cup almond milk: Creamy base for the mocktail
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup: To add sweetness

Instructions

Let’s make this warm and cozy drink step-by-step:

Blend: Add cherries, almond milk, and honey to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Add Flavor: Pour in the almond extract and sprinkle the cinnamon. Blend again for about 10 seconds.
Heat: Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Warm it over medium heat until it’s heated through, but don’t boil it.

Serve: Strain if necessary, then pour into your favorite mug.
Garnish: Optionally, top with a cinnamon stick or a few almond slices for an added touch.

I love the smell of cinnamon and almonds while it’s warming on the stove! 😍

Notes

Here are a few tips to make your mocktail even better:

Sweetness Adjustments: You can swap honey for maple syrup or agave syrup if preferred.

Almond Milk Varieties: Try unsweetened almond milk for less sweetness or vanilla-flavored for extra flavor.

Chilling Option: If you prefer a cold beverage, simply refrigerate the mixture instead of heating it.

Cinnamon Lovers: Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon according to your taste.
