Back in milking season and this warmth calls forth the need for Maple Milk…but hopefully some cool nights coming up will also give us a good reason to have some warm caramel milk. A great way to celebrate local milk, delightful 2016 Maple Syrup from Brookfield Bees, and Fat Toad Farm’s Sofi nomination caramel for a fabulous product line. Enjoy them all together, warm or cold!
Also known as Farm Gatorade – it provides that needed afternoon hydration and boost from the protein, fats and oh, yeah that sugar.
Ok, so we are a bit addicted here at the farm, but try it and you will understand why! One of our members with young kids noted another benefit – by look you can hardly tell there is maple or caramel in the milk so the kids don’t have to know you are a getting a sweet boost while they savor the pure, unsweetened version of the milk!
Refreshing Cold Maple Milk
Pour a glass of milk (or mix right in a quart jar)
Add maple syrup to taste, the darker the better ( 1-2 teaspoons per cup of milk, more or less to taste)
Stir, Drink and enjoy!
It substitutes for milk shakes around here, with the richness of the goat milk, yum!
