600ml milk

A pinch of salt

A small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Cut onion into quarters and stud each quarter with a clove. Put in a pan with milk, bay leaf, nutmeg and salt.

Heat gently until simmering. Remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes. Discard the onion, clove and bay leaf. Reheat until hot, but not boiling.
