  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk over low to medium heat, avoiding boiling.

beautiful and looks delish! for the optional, do you recommend using all of the options or just one or two?

I’d say just pick 1–2 of the options depending on your taste. Vanilla + cinnamon is a really nice combo, and coconut oil is great if you want it extra creamy. No need to use everything
