Kerinne

This drink is from M.C.A Hogarth’s Pelted Universe, and is a favorite of the genetically modified peoples that make up the backbone of the “Alliance”. You can find the recipe I used at the back of the first book in the Dreamhealers series, Mindtouch.

• 1 Tbs butter
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbs honey
• 1/4 cup cream
• a pinch of salt
• milk to taste

Melt together the butter, cinnamon, and honey over medium-low heat in a pot. Stir until thoroughly heated and combined.

Add the cream and stir in. Once the cream is also warmed, add the pinch of salt and milk to taste. (I only used as much milk as cream, so this kerinne was VERY thick, and clung nicely to those gingerbread cookies.) I doubled the recipe, too, to have enough for me and my husband.

The drink is warm and very soothing. Best to drink it before it cools, though, as that can make it cloying. Dip your spicy cookies in it and enjoy the warmth.

Makes 1-3 servings, depending on how much milk you add.
