When to Get Steamed...

Tips and Suggestions on Party and Holiday Steamer Fun!

After Dinner Drinks with a Twist
Feature lowfat milk steamers flavored with liqueurs such as Kahlua^®, Amaretto, Frangelico^® or Bailey's^® Irish Cream. Mix one shot in a cup of cold milk then steam. Serve in Irish coffee glasses or other elegant glass mugs. For alcohol-free drinks, use alcohol-flavored syrups instead of liquor and make "mocktails."

Baby or Bridal Shower 'Steam'
A terrific beverage for mom-to-be (and her friends), steamers contain no caffeine but are chock full of calcium for mom and baby! Make pink steamers with raspberry or strawberry flavored syrups and blue steamers with blackberry syrup. Toast a new bride at her shower or reception with white steamers made with light syrups like vanilla and almond.

'Drink Your Dessert' Buffet
Provide stainless steel pitchers of steamed milk on a buffet table, along with an array of elegantly flavored syrups like hazelnut, almond and caramel. Use easy-to-find syrup pumps for quick dispensing. Serve with biscotti or other cookies for dunking!

Fall Flavors
Rich flavors like pumpkin, chai, caramel and apple are perfect for autumn. Warm up with a steamer after apple picking or at your next tailgate. For a nutritious treat, serve steamers at your Halloween party before sending the trick-or-treaters out into the chilly air.

Teen 'Sleepover' Party
Create a hip "coffeehouse" in your kitchen by serving lowfat steamed milk and mix-ins that teens will love, like chocolate chips, peanut butter, candy sprinkles and whipped cream. Mix with "shots" of decaffeinated coffee to make them feel even more sophisticated!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Welcome your holiday guests and invite the carolers in from the cold with a warm, delicious steamer. Include seasonal favorites like peppermint, eggnog and butterscotch rum when selecting flavored syrups.
