Instructions:
- Boil the milk
In a saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. - Add grated beet
Add the grated beet directly into the boiling milk. Stir gently and reduce heat to low. - Simmer
Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes until the milk turns a beautiful pink color and the beets become tender. - Add flavor (optional)
Sprinkle in cinnamon for a cozy, warm taste. - Serve
Pour into cups and enjoy warm. You can drink it as a sweet milk or spoon out the tender beets for a light dessert.
