How to Make Athole Brose

  1. In a microwave-safe 2-quart bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
  2. Microwave on high power for 6-8 minutes, or until the mixture is steaming hot and thoroughly heated through. Stir halfway through to ensure even heating.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
