Pink Angel Milk Recipe

Pink Angel Milk is a delicious TikTok recipe that has gone viral recently, you can make it home with just a few ingredients. The tasty drink hit the airwaves and took off after the public found out how delicious it was.

With just three simple ingredients and some food coloring, you can have a delicious sweet frothy drink that tastes like the Starbucks vanilla steamer but is even better. TikTok angel milk is a comforting drink that can relax you after a long day at work or out enjoying the day.

Believe it or not, angel milk was not founded by TikTok users. In fact, it was first made during WWII by Dr. William Shiel who used it when fresh milk was hard to find. They even used it as a substitute for breast milk when needed. However, this newest trend was found on TikTok just recently made with milk, vanilla, and sugar. 

You only need milk, sugar, and vanilla extract for this fun kid-friendly recipe along with the food coloring just for looks. If you do not have any food coloring, that is okay too.

Once they taste it, they will want their milk like that all the time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best milk for this recipe?

Any kind of milk can be used in this easy and versatile recipe. Whole milk, skim milk, or 2% milk will work great but you can also use plant or nut-based milk if you need it to be dairy free. Almond milk is perfect because it makes your drink even sweeter with a little nutty taste. Oat milk, coconut milk, or even coconut milk will also be delicious. If you want to make your angel milk taste rich and creamy, a full-fat milk will do the trick. 

What natural colorings can I use?

Instead of food coloring, turn the milk pink with a natural ingredient like pomegranate, cherries, or cranberries. Just remember, using natural colors can change the flavor too. For example, you will get a cherry flavor from adding cherry juice. That is why you probably should not use beet juice or powder unless you want your milk to taste that way. 

How can I make my milk foamier?

Actually, the best way to get frothy milk is to use an espresso machine. But if you do not have one, there are a few other alternatives. For example, pour it into a jar with a tight lid and shake for a minute. Make sure you leave room in the jar for the froth. Or you can use a blender, food processor, or even a handheld frother.

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Sure. You could use powdered sugar if you like. It actually dissolves faster than granulated sugar. But remember, powdered sugar (also known as confectioners’ or icing sugar) is sweeter than granulated sugar so you may have to use less. If you are trying to cut sugar from your diet, you can use a sugar substitute like Splenda or Stevia. Or try using honey or maple syrup.

How to store leftovers:

• Store: You can store your leftover pink angel milk in a jar with a lid (like a mason jar) for about two days. 
• Freeze: It is also fine to freeze your angel milk for up to three months. Just make sure you leave a few inches of space in the jar for expansion.
• Thaw: To thaw, place the milk in the fridge overnight before reheating. 
• Reheat: To reheat, put your angel milk in the microwave for 30 seconds. Continue doing this until it is warm all the way through.

Recipe tips:

• To make it even easier and shorten prep time, make angel milk in an espresso machine where it can get hot and frothy without all the work. You could also use a handheld frother.
• Use a mason jar or another thick glass so it is see-thru but also thick enough, so it does not burn your hands when you pick it up. A large mug would work too as long as you can see through it.
• You can add more sugar if you like your milk sweeter. Or use less sugar if it is too sweet.
• Let the kids pick out what color they like. It does not have to be pink. They will be more likely to drink it if they get to pick their favorite color. 
• Check out our food blog every day where we always have other recipes including more TikTok recipes. 
• Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. The desired temperature should be about 135 degrees F. That is the best temperature to get the most flavor without burning your tongue.
• Set your phone or tablet on cook mode to prevent the screen from going dark while you are preparing your delicious TikTok angel milk recipe.
