Instructions:

Bring 2/3 of the milk to the boil.

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and saute in the melted butter until soft without color. When all the liquid has evaporated, add the flour and make a white roux.

Stir the roux well with the one third cold milk, away from the fire. This prevents lumps.

Mix with the rest of the boiling milk and let it boil, stirring continuously.

Add all other ingredients and gently bubble for 20-half hours.

When making larger quantities, place the spices in a linen bag so that the sauce can be properly skimmed while boiling.

Strain through a fine sieve and use butter flakes to keep the surface from crusting.

To taste well, 50% of the milk can be replaced by that.

This is a basic sauce and can be refined according to use.
