A classic accompaniment to roasted chicken, turkey or game, this delicately flavoured sauce is a favourite of the English. It is shown here with turkey and vegetables.
Pour the milk into a saucepan and set over medium heat. Push the pointed end of the cloves into the onion and add the onion to the milk with the bay leaves. Bring slowly to the boil. Remove from the heat, cover and set aside for 15 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse into the milk.
Strain the milk through a fine sieve and discard the flavouring ingredients.
