Ingredients
Below is a list of ingredients needed for this recipe. Follow our tips on each ingredient for best results.
- Milk- We used dairy milk while making this recipe but to make this vegan and dairy free you can use your favorite milk alternative like Almond, Oat, Coconut, or Soy milk. As we recipe tested, we found dairy milk and Almond milk to be our favorites to use.
- Sugar- Granulated white sugar is the perfect sweetener for this sweet milk drink.
- Vanilla extract- Adding a little vanilla extract ties the milk and sugar together to give a smooth and creamy taste.
- Pink food coloring- Or red! This is totally optional and just gives the drink a fun look. It does not add any additional flavor so if you leave it out, it won't be missed.

- We recommend drinking this immediately, especially if making it hot. To store, store in the refrigerator and reheat in a saucepan when ready to drink.
- Feel free to leave out the food coloring. This drink tastes the same and does not need the food coloring for anything other than it's pink color.
- Be careful not to leave this unattended. One of the times when I was testing this recipe I walked away for just a minute and the milk had heated up and began to foam and I had a big pink mess all over my stove.
