Hot milk with honey and spices

In Silicon Valley, Cafe Borrone is one of those trendy coffee shops frequented by the European crowd and hip young professionals.  Always up to trying something new, I passed on the numerous espresso drinks and instead ordered their honey steamed milk.  Impressed, I set about to make my own version.

This cozy drink is simply warm milk made special with honey, nutmeg, and allspice.  For best flavor, nutmeg should always be grated immediately before use.


Hot milk with honey and spices  (serves one)

1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon honey
generous pinch freshly grated nutmeg
generous pinch ground allspice

1)  Mix milk, honey, and spices in a small saucepan.
2)  Heat over medium heat until heated to desired temperature, stirring constantly.
