Fall Spice Creamer and Cold Foam- Phases 1 and 3 (v)

Fall Spice Creamer

Phases 1 and 3 versions

Use your favorite plant based milk for this. Homemade or store bought. I prefer but milks for this creamer but oat and brown rice milks should work just fine

Phase 1- unsweetened oat or brown rice milk

Phase 3- unsweetened almond, coconut, cashew or oat

I do not use ground spices in this as they will not dissolve and leave the creamer with a gritty feel.

2 cups plant based milk 

3-4 cinnamon sticks

1 vanilla bean

3-4 star anise

10 whole cloves

1 whole nutmeg, crushed

2 inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced

sweetener to taste (birch xylitol, pure monk fruit or pure stevia)

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise. No need to scrape as most flavor comes from the pod and not the caviar inside. 

Place everything into a pot over medium heat and bring to a very gentle simmer. Do not boil. Reduce heat if there are lots of bubbles. Stir often. Simmer slowly for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool. Strain. 

Keep in fridge

Pro Tip. If the flavor ends up stronger than you prefer, simply add more milk to get to the intensity you prefer. 

To make cold foam:

Place 3-4 tablespoons of the creamer into a tall jar or glass. Use a milk frother (you can get the link to purchase HERE) for 20-30 seconds until foamy. Pour over your iced coffee sub or herbal tea. 

Alternatively you can use a blender or shake in a jar for 1 minute
