Whisked Milk with Raisins: A Delicious Treat to Share with Friends

 

This simple and delightful recipe combines the creamy texture of whisked milk with the natural sweetness of raisins for a treat perfect to share!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of milk (whole or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
• A handful of crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pistachios) for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Raisins:
   • Soak the raisins in a small bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. This will plump them up and soften their texture. Drain them afterward.
2. Heat the Milk:
   • In a medium saucepan, pour the milk and heat it over medium heat until it begins to steam. Stir occasionally to prevent it from scalding.
3. Whisk the Milk:
   • Once the milk is hot but not boiling, reduce the heat and use a whisk or hand blender to froth it. Continue whisking for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes light and airy.
4. Add Flavors:
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and honey (if using), and whisk gently to combine the flavors. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced twist.
5. Incorporate the Raisins:
   • Remove the milk from the heat and stir in the soaked raisins. Let them sit in the warm milk for a minute to infuse their sweetness.
6. Serve:
   • Pour the whisked milk into serving glasses. If desired, garnish with a handful of crushed nuts for added texture and a crunchy contrast.
7. Enjoy:
   • Serve warm, and enjoy this creamy and sweet treat with your friends!

Tips:

• You can experiment with different flavors by adding a bit of cardamom or nutmeg.
• For a chilled version, allow the milk to cool after whisking and serve over ice!

This treat is not only delicious but can be a comforting drink to share, especially in cozy gatherings.
