Vanilla Creme Milk

Back after a long break!

Tonight's dinner was very unusual - I walked into a Crepes Cafe, and found a fantastic listing of crepes. I had Cream Brulee Crepes (with Chocolate Sauce and Fresh Strawberries) and Hot Vanilla Creme Milk. Both were awesome!

Here's the recipe for Hot Vanilla Creme Milk - I'll give you the Crepe Cafe's recipe and will also include my version (along with some substitution ideas).

Crepe Cafe Vanilla Creme Milk
1 Cup Milk (Whole Milk preferred, but 2%, 1% or Fat Free also fine)
1 Table Spoon Torani Vanilla Syrup
1 Table Spoon Torani Hazelnut Syrup

Directions:
1. Heat 1 cup of milk on the stove top or microwave
2. Add the 2 syrups and stir
3. Enjoy!

My Vanilla Creme Milk recipe
1 Cup Milk (Whole Milk preferred, but 2%, 1% or Fat Free also fine)
1 drop Vanilla Essence
1 Table Spoon Sugar

Directions:
1. Heat 1 cup of milk on the stove top or microwave
2. Add the Vanilla Essence and Milk and stir
3. Enjoy!

Note: Do not heat the milk after adding the syrup/essence.
You can also substitute #2 with 1 Table Spoon of maple syrup, pancake syrup (any flavor), honey, almond essence/syrup. This is a fantastic alternative to the common hot chocolate, coffee, tea and of course plain milk.
