Method

  1. Using a sharp knife, make a slit lengthways along the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds into a large saucepan. Add the pod along with all the remaining ingredients
  2. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat and steam over a very low heat for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for at least 30 mins. When ready to serve, return to a low heat to warm through, being careful not to let it boil. Ladle into heatproof glasses to serve.

Tip: To make ahead, you can infuse for up to 2 hours. If you are dipping in during the course of a day, make up on the hob, transfer to a slow-cooker, then serve when you like. Leftovers will keep for up to 24 hours in the fridge – warm on the hob or in 30-second bursts in the microwave.
