How to Make Vegan Hot Spiced Milk

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well), 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of saffron threads.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the milk is steaming and hot (about 3-5 minutes). Do not boil.
  3. Carefully pour the hot milk through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into a mug to remove the spices.
  4. Add your preferred sweetener (maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar) to taste. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to your liking.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors!
  6. **Microwave Method:** Combine all ingredients (except sweetener) in a microwave-safe mug. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Stir in sweetener to taste and enjoy!
