Cardamom and Honey Milk

Name: Cardamom and Honey Milk
Ingredients: 2 cups milk of choice (I used raw goat’s milk); 8 green cardamom pods, smashed and the brown seeds removed to use (about 1/2 teaspoon of the brown seeds); 3 teaspoons honey (I used local and raw); 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the better quality the better as the flavor really comes through)

Cardamom and Honey Milk was pinched from <a href="http://www.mnn.com/food/recipes/blogs/warm-cardamom-and-honey-milk" target="_blank">www.mnn.com.</a>

"Cardamom, vanilla and honey gently sweeten and flavor a glass of milk. Heated until just warm, it is the perfect soothing cup of milk. The flavor profile is based on a “Persian Love Cake” that I baked years ago for a friend’s bridal party. It had the same spices in it, and I really loved it. Cardamom is sometimes called the “queen of spices” and was held in high esteem in the ancient world. I hold it in high esteem in my modern world because it is so delicious! It was traditionally thought to improve digestion and the sweetness of breath, but beyond that it has an exotic, slightly spicy-yet-sweet flavor that is unique. You can replace the vanilla with a few drops of rose extract for an especially Persian flavor profile...."
