2 servings
- 2 cups whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness. - 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup, or to taste
Chef's tipUse the same amount; honey is a little thicker and slightly sweeter. - pinch of ground cardamom (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the milk and sliced ginger in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm, stirring occasionally, until the milk is steaming and small bubbles form around the edges — about 7–8 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- 2
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cardamom, if using.
