How to Make Hot White Chocolate With Cardamom

  1. Finely chop 4 ounces of white chocolate and place it in a large mug.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.
  3. Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer around the edges (about 3 minutes). Do not boil.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl, discarding the cardamom pods.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the warm milk mixture over the chopped white chocolate in the mug.
  7. Let it sit for 1 minute to allow the chocolate to melt.
  8. Whisk vigorously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  9. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg and serve immediately. Enjoy!
