Equipment

  • Blender: To blend all the flavors together smoothly.
  • Mixing Spoon: For stirring the ingredients if needed.
  • Measuring cups and spoons: To get the quantities just right.
  • Mug or Glass: For serving the finished drink.
  • Strainer: Optional, for removing pulp if desired.

Ingredients

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

  • 1 cup cherries: Fresh or frozen pitted
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract: For that nutty flavor
  • 1 cup almond milk: Creamy base for the mocktail
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup: To add sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon: For a hint of spice

Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. These ingredients are simple and create a lovely flavor combination!

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.
