Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk whole milk, 2%, or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoons homemade sugar cookie syrup or to taste
  • Whipped cream optional
  • Christmas sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Pour the milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until hot and steaming, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Alternately, add milk and sugar cookie syrup to electric frother and press the button.
  • Add the homemade sugar cookie syrup and stir until fully combined.
  • Use a handheld milk frother or whisk to create a light layer of foam, if desired.
  • Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream or festive sprinkles.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Sweetness: Start with 1 tablespoon of sugar cookie syrup for a less sweet drink, or use 2–3 tablespoons for a sweeter sugar cookie flavor.
Milk options: Whole milk creates a creamy texture, but oat milk and almond milk also work well.
No frother? Whisk the warm milk vigorously or enjoy it without foam.
Microwave option: Heat the milk and syrup together in a microwave-safe mug in short intervals, stirring until warm.
Serving children: Allow the drink to cool to a safe temperature before serving.
