North Pole Drink FAQS
What is Molasses?
Molasses is a thick, dark syrup that is a by-product of the sugar refining process. It is used in baking and as a sweetener in many foods.

Yes, if you want, you can substitute the milk for your favorite dairy free alternative. I like oat milk as it is creamy.
