If you’ve been around here long enough, you know my love for unique, cozy drinks runs deep. So, I’m thrilled to introduce you to this pink milk with beetroot powder – an unexpected yet delightful twist that will bring a rosy glow to your coffee cup and brighten up any quiet moment.
Wondering what makes it so special?
Much like my spiced turmeric milk, this drink brings together simple ingredients in a way that’s both soothing and invigorating. It’s creamy, lightly spiced, and has a whisper of earthiness, thanks to the beetroot, which pairs beautifully with the warmth of cinnamon, vanilla, and ginger. Maple syrup adds just the right touch of sweetness without overpowering the natural flavors.
Whether you’re whisking up a quick latte or looking for a cozy caffeine-free option to unwind, this pink milk is as versatile as it is vibrant. I personally love swirling it into a cup of espresso for a beautiful layered effect – a perfect blend of bold coffee and soft, spiced milk with a hint of natural sweetness.
Ingredients you need
- Milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- Beetroot powder (for that stunning color and earthy tone)
- Maple syrup (or more to taste)
- Cinnamon sticks
- Ground ginger
- Ground vanilla (or a splash of vanilla extract)
How To Make Pink Milk From Scratch
Step 1: In a small saucepan combine milk, beetroot powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla.
Step 2: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Step 3: Pour your pink milk into a cozy mug to enjoy on its own, or mix it into coffee for a stunning layered effect. For an extra creamy finish, froth the milk with a handheld frother before serving.
Why You’ll Love This Pink Milk
