About This Recipe
This 3 ingredient cereal milk is the copycat version of the one you get at the Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. It is nothing but milk flavored with toasted cereals and brown sugar. It is so amazing, you will wonder why didn’t you try it before?
Cereal milk tastes like that dense, slightly sweet, starchy, corny milk from the bottom of the cereal bowl, that everybody loves to enjoy at the end. The corn flakes are toasted before steeping in the milk, which helps deepen the flavor.
You can also get experimental and use this flavored milk to make ice cream, pannacotta, or even pies.
This drink is,
- Yummy
- Comforting
- Easy & Quick
- Made with just 3 ingredients
- Perfect for hot days
Ingredients
Corn Flakes – I have used classic corn flakes but you can use any cereal to make this drink. There are many kinds of cereal available under different brands, choose your favorite one. My other fav are crunch berries, fruit loops, bran flakes, etc.
If you ever visit the Momofuku Milk Bar in New York, you can get the cereal milk mixes they sell at the store itself.
Milk – Use whole milk for a creamy and rich drink. If wanting to make it healthier, you can use skim milk too.
You can also use almond milk, soy milk or any other plant based milk for dairy free options.
Brown Sugar – I love the earthy flavor brown sugar gives to this drink. You can use regular granulated sugar, honey, or maple syrup too.
How to make Cereal Milk?
Preheat the oven to 280 Degree F. Spread the corn flakes on a baking sheet evenly. Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and toast them for about 10 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the cornflakes cool completely.
Transfer the toasted cornflakes into a pitcher or a bowl.
Add milk and brown sugar and stir well.
Refrigerate the bowl for 30 minutes for the flavors to steep.
Place a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour milk through to separate the cereal from the milk. Press down on the cereal to squeeze out as much milk as possible. Discard cereal.
Chill the milk for a few hours before serving.
