Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and necessary kitchen equipment, including a medium saucepan, whisk, and measuring cups.

Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality vanilla syrup and fresh milk. Organic options can enhance the taste and make your drink even more special.
- Monitor the Heat: Keep the heat on medium-low to prevent the milk from scorching. Stir gently and continuously to ensure an even temperature throughout the mixture.
- Perfect Whipped Cream: For a decadent touch, consider making your own whipped cream. Simply whip heavy cream with a bit of sugar until soft peaks form for a fresher taste.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment with flavors! Add a splash of almond extract or a dash of nutmeg for a unique twist on this classic drink.
- Serve with Style: Present your hot vanilla milk in fun mugs and add festive garnishes like chocolate shavings or mini marshmallows for an extra special touch.
