It’s the perfect balance of cozy and refreshing, bringing all the festive feels to your cup. Whether you’re cuddled up on the couch or hosting a holiday party, this drink will steal the show. Whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon take it to the next level. Trust me, you’re about to sip your way to holiday bliss.

Serve this festive drink warm for an extra cozy vibe or chilled for a refreshing twist. Top it with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon for that picture-perfect look.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

medium-sized saucepan
whisk
a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
medium-sized bowl
fine sieve
sealable container (oil bottle)
ice cubes

Instructions

Toss everything into the blender.
Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 100°C (212°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl.
Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
Once all the oil has passed through the fine mesh strainer, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
