Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a small pot, heat the milk and sprinkle in the cardamom. Whisk to help the spice infuse into the milk and heat on low-medium for about five minutes until it is warm but hasn't come to a boil.
  • Take off the heat and drizzle in the honey. Whisk to help it dissolve into the milk.
  • Place a small strainer over your cups and pour the milk through. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of cardamom to taste. The half teaspoon gives a hint of spice, but you can add a pinch more if you prefer it to be more pungent.
  • Personally I find that warming the milk but not boiling is better. Boiling can cause the milk to have a different taste.
  • Don't skip straining the milk! This helps remove any gritty bits of spice that may be in the milk.
