Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a medium saucepan, pour in the 2 cups of coconut milk. Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the coconut milk to warm gently. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- While the coconut milk is heating, measure out the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix them together to create a flavorful blend.
- Once the coconut milk is warm (but not boiling), add the mixture of maple syrup, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
- Continue to heat the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling. You want to ensure that all the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Once heated, remove the saucepan from the heat. If you prefer a frothy texture, you can use an immersion blender to blend the mixture for a few seconds until frothy.
- Pour the healthy coconut milk eggnog into two mugs or heatproof glasses. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little extra nutmeg or cinnamon on top for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, healthy coconut milk eggnog steamers!
Tips
