One of my favorite parts of Christmas was always helping the kids get ready for Santa’s visit. We baked cookies and sat up a special table near the tree. They would write him notes and leave a snack for Rudolph too. I’m not sure who had more fun, the kids or me.
How about a special treat for Santa this year? Instead of just leaving him a boring glass of milk, leave him this belly warming Frothy Vanilla Milk. So delicious that you will be making it for yourself too! A delicious change from regular old chocolate milk.
Frothy Vanilla Milk

Ingredients
- 4 c. whole milk
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. light brown sugar
- 1½ whole vanilla beans, split in half lengthwise
- Whipped Cream, for garnish, optional
- Ground nutmeg, for dusting, optional
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the milk and both sugars. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the middle of the beans into the saucepan and also add the split beans. Bring the milk to a simmer; cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 30 minutes to allow the vanilla to flavor the milk.
- Discard the vanilla beans and rewarm the milk over moderate heat, whisking vigorously, until frothy and warm. Serve in mugs with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
