4Cupmilk (divided in half - use dairy, rice or soy)
2Tablespoonhoney
1⁄8Teaspooncardamom, powdered
4Ouncechocolate, white baking (chopped)
1Teaspoonvanilla
1⁄4Teaspoonnutmeg, powdered
4 cinnamon sticks (6-inches long each)

Instructions

Warm 2 cups of the milk, honey, cardamom, and baking chocolate in a saucepan until chocolate is melted. Add remaining milk and heat until warm. Stir in vanilla. Pour into cups, sprinkle with nutmeg and add cinnamon stick stirrers.

Substitute almond extract (or another flavoring, like peppermint extract) for the vanilla if you'd prefer. At a toddler's tuck-in time, serve without the chocolate to induce slumber.
