How to Make Poppy Seed Milk

  1. In a small bowl, combine poppy seeds and 1/2 cup of the milk.
  2. Let the mixture sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the poppy seeds to soften and release their flavor. This step is crucial for the best taste.
  3. Once the poppy seeds have softened, blend the mixture with the remaining milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Add more honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. If using, stir in the chopped nuts.
  6. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few poppy seeds, if desired.
