HKC 9.1: MILK

Bring milk to a boil three times (as it foams up, turn down, then turn flame up, then down, and then up). Add sugar. Simmer milk about 3 minutes, and stir sugar in well using a wooden spoon. A whole cardamom or a drop of rosewater may be placed in the milk and cardamom removed when milk is done. Honey may be substituted for sugar, using about 1/3 cup per quart. Milk can be offered with a ripe banana or some figs, or dates. Milk should be poured from one cup to another. This cools the milk and also makes it more flavorful.
