Summer Moon Moon Milk : Your Cozy Nighttime Sip

Craving that cozy, creamy taste of Summer Moon’s famous Moon Milk right at home? You’re in for a treat! This sweet, velvety milk is a beloved favourite from Summer Moon Coffee, known for its dreamy flavour that blends white chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of sweetness into one magical sip. Whether you enjoy it in your coffee or as a warm drink on its own, my homemade version will bring that same indulgent café vibe straight to your kitchen.

This recipe is easy, comforting, and perfect for when you want to recreate that coffee shop luxury without leaving home. Let’s dive in!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making Summer Moon Moon Milk at home is easier than you think! Follow my simple process for the creamiest, most indulgent result:

1. Warm the Milk

Start by warming ½ cup of whole milk in a microwave-safe mug for about 45 seconds. If you prefer stovetop, gently warm it in a small saucepan on low heat. Be careful not to let it boil, as this can cause scorching.

2. Melt the Chocolate

Transfer the warm milk to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Cut the white chocolate squares into quarters (or smaller pieces) and add them directly into the milk. Stir until the chocolate begins to melt.

3. Add Dry Ingredients

Whisk in caster sugar, skim milk powder, and vanilla extract. The sugar dissolves best when the milk is still warm. If it feels too thick, don’t worry, keep whisking.

4. Smooth & Dissolve

Whisk continuously until the chocolate and sugar fully dissolve. If needed, pop the bowl back in the microwave for 20 seconds, then whisk again until smooth and silky.

5. Add Syrups & Cream

Stir in light corn syrup and slowly fold in condensed milk. Finish by gradually mixing in the heavy whipping cream. This step is where the magic happens; the cream gives Moon Milk its signature velvety texture.

6. Sweet Finishing Touch

If you like a little extra flavour, drizzle in maple syrup, honey, or Torani syrup. Stir with love, the secret ingredient that makes all the flavours come together beautifully.

Now, your homemade Summer Moon Moon Milk is ready to enjoy! You can sip it as is, froth it for lattes, or pour it over iced coffee for that authentic Summer Moon feel.

Serving and Decoration

Now that your Moon Milk is ready, let’s make it feel just as special as when you get it from Summer Moon Coffee.

Suggested Ways to Serve

• Classic Latte Style: Froth the Moon Milk using a handheld frother and pour it over freshly brewed espresso for a creamy latte.
  
• Iced Moon Milk Coffee: Chill your Moon Milk, pour it over ice, and top it with cold brew or espresso for a refreshing twist.
  
• Moon Milk on Its Own: Enjoy it as a cozy, sweet drink, like hot chocolate, but with a white chocolate–vanilla vibe.
  

Toppings & Coatings

You can elevate your Moon Milk with these simple finishing touches:

• Cinnamon or Nutmeg: A light sprinkle adds warmth and depth.
  
• Whipped Cream: For a richer, café-style treat.
  
• Drizzle of Caramel or Honey: Enhances sweetness and presentation.
  
• Edible Glitter or Colored Sugar: Fun for parties or themed drinks.

Flavor Variations

One of the best things about homemade Moon Milk is that you can customize it to your taste:

1. Cinnamon Maple Moon Milk – Add a dash of cinnamon and swap maple syrup for honey.
   
2. Vanilla Almond Moon Milk – Replace half the heavy cream with almond milk for a nutty twist.
   
3. Iced Caramel Moon Milk – Stir in a spoonful of caramel syrup before serving over ice.
   
4. Vegan Moon Milk – Use oat or almond milk, vegan white chocolate, and coconut cream for a dairy-free option.

Storage Instructions

Keeping Moon Milk Fresh

If you have leftovers, store your Moon Milk in a sealed glass jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Before serving again, warm it gently on the stovetop or microwave and whisk to bring back the creamy texture.

Freezing Moon Milk

Want to save it for longer? You can freeze Moon Milk in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes into a freezer-safe bag. These cubes make a fantastic addition to iced coffee. Pop a few into your glass and pour coffee over the top for an instant café-style drink.
