Camel Milk Cinnamon Toast Steamer
A warm brown-sugar cinnamon camel milk drink with vanilla, designed to evoke buttered cinnamon toast without becoming syrupy.
By Aunesty Janssen · The Complete Camel Milk Guide & Cookbook: A Definitive Guide to History, Science, Sourcing & 150 Original Recipes
Ingredients
- 2 cups camel milk
- 2 tbsp packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch fine salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh nutmeg, optional
Method
- Combine camel milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a saucepan.
- Warm over medium-low heat, whisking frequently so the sugar dissolves and cinnamon stays suspended.
- When steaming and fully dissolved, reduce heat and hold for 1 minute without boiling.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Whisk vigorously or froth until a light foam forms.
- Pour immediately into warm mugs, whisking once more just before pouring because cinnamon naturally settles; finish with nutmeg if desired.
Cook with confidence
Before you start
Cinnamon Settles
Ground cinnamon suspends rather than dissolves, so whisk just before pouring.
Brown Sugar
Molasses notes create the cinnamon-toast character better than plain white sugar.
Foam Last
Dissolve sugar and warm the milk before frothing.
Batching
Hold briefly in an insulated carafe, not on a burner, and whisk before serving.
Kitchen note
Brown sugar's molasses notes pair especially well with camel milk's subtle salinity, a good introductory sweet drink for anyone tasting camel milk for the first time.
