Butter Beer

(Makes 2-4 servings.  Seriously, it’s decadant!)

2 cups milk 

2 Tbsp. brown sugar (this makes it super sweet!  Feel free to cut it in half or even 1/4)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 Tbsp butter

Mix all in a pot and warm.  Once the butter has melted, use an immersion blender or pour it in the blender and whip it until it is frothy.  Then pour it back into the pot and heat until nice and hot.  It’s a great winter drink!
