Remarks
If you'd like a more syrupy drink, add a little more sugar.
To bring out even more cardamom flavour, chop or crush the seeds as well. You can also give the tonka*, cardamom and vanilla a quick blast in a blender before adding this ground spice mixture to the apples.

How to cook potato grenaille
The French call very small potatoes "grenaille". This is a typical way of cooking them: the tiny potatoes are pan-fried in their skins and make an excellent accompanient for meat. Grenaille can be made with any kind of potato; it is a question of size, rather than variety, though I think that firm-textured potatoes, such as rattes or charlottes, work best. I am using rattes in the photos. The cooking is a combined method: boiling first, then frying. This is quicker than using a single method. September 16th 2015477 K4.5 45 min.
