no-microwave, no-stove, no-kettle warm milk and honey

13 Comments

Okay, my espresso machine does a lot of work lately and not much of it is coffee related. Ever been in a hurry for a warm Milo or a warm milk & honey, but hate microwaving the milk? Too busy to boil a kettle or heat milk on a stove? I know I can’t be bothered most nights. But the espresso machine has a steamer…
Place honey, Milo or even cocoa and sugar in your cup, fill to half way with cold milk and use the steamer on it until it reaches the top. It’s not scalding, it dissolves any sugar and it stirs perfectly, plus gives it a creamy texture. Just right for that warm milk toddy just before bed

That sounds like a perfect way to end a busy day. I have a coffee machine, but it has no steamer Must find coffee machine with steamer!

Totally agree my kids who are 6,5 and 2 love their treat of a hot chocolate(well they think it is with less than a quater of a tea spoon sprinkled on top) and a couple of marshmellows. It stop them trying to steal my daily cappuccino. From our coffee machine. My one requirement was when buyiny it that it had to heat milk with little effort.
