Steps

25 minutes

    Place all the bouquet garni spices in the piece of cheesecloth. Close tightly and tie with string.
    Put the bouquet garni in a pot and add the milk. Heat the milk until it is just about to boil.

  2. 2

    MAKE WHITE ROUX
    In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat so it doesn't burn.
    Add the flour, mix well, and cook for about 3 minutes without letting it brown.

  3. 3

    MAKE THE SAUCE
    Add the hot milk with the bouquet garni to the roux, whisking well to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil and cook gently for about 20 minutes.
    Add nutmeg. Stir occasionally with a whisk to prevent sticking or burning on the bottom of the pot. If you want a thinner sauce, add a little more milk. The thickness of the sauce depends on how you plan to use it.
    Once the sauce is cooked, strain it through a fine mesh sieve.
