  • For the Roux Melt the butter in a pan, being careful not to let it bubble (that is burnt butter). Add the flour and mix until a blonde color is achieved (in this case, you can let it cook until a darker color is achieved to your taste). The Roux is blended with the milk to create the base.
  • For the nut milk: Pour the milk into a pot over medium heat until it reaches the first boil.
  • Add the butter, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir with a whisk until it thickens and turn off the heat.
  • To bind: Using a strainer, pour the Roux into the nut milk ensuring it falls in a single stream; while vigorously stirring with a whisk to avoid lumps.
  • Heat the pot over medium heat and stir until a creamy consistency is achieved. (keep mixing).
