Chef's Tips

• Milk will overflow if left unattended and heated beyond a simmer.
• To prevent milk from sticking to bottom while heating, spray saucepan with fat free no-stick cooking spray, before adding milk.
• Cranberries may be served as topping.
• Honey may be substituted for maple-flavored syrup.
• Whipped cream may be substituted for milk or yogurt.
