    Fond memories of warm milk and honey served to me by my beloved grandmother at bedtime prompted me to give this a go particularly since I was curious about the addition of cinnamon. I hadn't had this in probably 50 years! It was ok but the cinnamon and vanilla kind of got in the way - Read more ...

    I just made it. It tastes just like the silk almond vanilla milk I have in my fridge. Its ok

    Wonderful nighttime beverage - especially if you are having trouble sleeping! I used skim milk and added a pinch of nutmeg. If I have a little more trouble sleepling I just might add a little shot of bourbon - whatever works!

    This is a wonderful drink I have used for this for years on end. It's "Fairy Food" to me and is great to drink and very calming. Leaving this for the fairies outdoors brings good things if you believe:)

    This made my insides and my outsides feel much more comfortable. My kids too. I used NF milk and splenda.

    Quite good :) UPDATE: I changed my mind: VERY good! The secret is leaving the milk in the microwave for close to 3 minutes.

    I have this often in the winter when it's soooo cold out. It's perfect just before going to bed. Try it with almond extract instead of the vanilla. Awesome!

    My dad used to make me something just like this he called "Fairy Nectar". Knowing him, he probably added a little dollop of something stronger... Thanks for the cozy recipe!

    This is pretty good I sprinkled nutmeg on mine along with the cinnamon and also doubled the honey. Thx:)
