Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 2 pods Cardamom pods
- 2 pieces Cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Honey (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Pour the milk into a small saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.
Add the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves to the milk.
Sprinkle in the ground nutmeg and gently stir to combine.
Allow the milk to heat slowly, stirring occasionally, until it begins to steam (do not let it boil). This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Once the milk is steaming and aromatic, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the honey (or sweetener of your choice) and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
Strain the milk through a fine mesh sieve to remove the spices.
Pour the hot spiced milk into cups and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg on top.
