  • Measuring cup
  • Heat-safe mug
  • Fine grater
  • Ladle

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk whole, almond, or soy
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • sweetener of choice optional, to taste
  • pinch of salt optional

Instructions
