Relaxing Cardamom Milk

Relaxing and soothing warm milk infused with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and maple syrup.
Prep Time2 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time12 minutes
Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 250ml full fat cows milk or oat milk
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 3 green cardamom pods
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cloves
  • 3 black peppercorns
  • ½ tsp grated ginger or dried ginger

Instructions

  • Place the cardamom pods, cloves and peppercorns into a pestle & mortar and bash a few times until they break apart (do not turn into a powder, keep as large chunks). This will help release oils and flavour.
  • Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add bashed cardamom, cloves, and peppercorns along with ginger and cinnamon. Slowly bring to a simmer and allow the milk to gently cook for 5 minutes or until hot (do not bring it to a boil). Remove from the heat, place a lid on top, and let it sit and stew for a further 5 minutes.
  • Strain milk and stir through maple syrup. Transfer to a mug and sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and some dried rose petals if you wish.
