I came across a recipe for warm apple milk in the January 2008 issue of Kyou no Ryouri. What attracted me to it was the ingredient mirin. Normally, I don’t associate mirin with sweets. Yes, mirin is sweet, but I’ve never seen it being used in anything other than entree type dishes. The recipe seemed simple enough, so I decided to try it out.
It was relatively easy to make (aside from the peeling the apple part). I peeled the entire apple before slicing into quarters. I should have sliced it into quarters first and then peeled the skin off. Aside from that, I had no problems. I should have used a strainer when I was sprinkling the cinnamon on top though. The cinnamon powder kinda clumped together. Still, it was very delicious. ^_^.v
