After a long day there is nothing more comforting than a glass of warm milk. I was perfectly content with that until one day a little over a year ago when I found a recipe for a posset over at The Princess Portal. While a posset was traditionally made using alcohol to curdle the milk I also prefer to simply use spices and honey to add flavor. I've modified Skye's recipe slightly, but you can also use different portions of the spices to taste.
A Spiced Posset
1 cup milk
1 Tbs. orange blossom honey
a sprinkling of cinnamon
Heat the milk (I personally prefer skim, but any percentage would be fine) in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the honey and cinnamon. Heat until steaming and pour into a favorite mug.
Sometimes I mix it up and use a different type of honey or different flavorings (vanilla extract is nice). If you make your own flavored sugars, like lavender, that would also be a good substitute for the honey (and the lavender would add extra relaxation properties).
What are your favorite ways to wind down after a long day?
