Cafe Vanilla (1 serving) 3/4 cup strongly brewed coffee 1/2 vanilla bean 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon brown sugar cinnamon or nutmeg - for garnish Brew a strong cup (actually 3/4 cup) of coffee. Slice the 1/2 vanilla bean lengthwise. Place the vanilla bean, milk and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil - stirring occasionally. Remove from heat as soon as it starts boiling. Set aside and let steep for 10 minutes. Using an immersion blender, bend the milk mixture until frothy - about 20 seconds. Alternatively, you can place the milk mixture in a standard blender and blend on high until foamy. Pour the coffee into a serving cup. Top with the vanilla-infused milk. Top with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg. Enjoy! Treat yourself to a special coffee topped with frothy vanilla-infused milk with just a hint of sweetness.
