Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Chicory root
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, chicory root, and sugar.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir gently to combine the ingredients.
Step 3
Heat the mixture slowly, allowing it to come to just below a simmer. Avoid letting it boil.
Step 4
Once the mixture is warm, let it steep over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent any burning at the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the chicory root.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Step 7
Allow the chicory cream to cool slightly before transferring to a container. Refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to thicken and develop flavor.
Step 8
When ready to serve, spoon the chicory cream into your coffee or whisk it slightly to achieve a frothy texture before topping your drink.
