Heat / lightly sauté dry spices over medium heat – about 2 minutes or until spices develop flavor.
Add all the other ingredients. (If you want to use honey, but are afraid to heat it, add it at the end, when serving.) Stir everything.
Bring to a boil, but be careful not to let the milk escape (you can put a wooden spoon on the saucepan for this). When everything is boiling, reduce heat and cook for about 5 more minutes.
