How to Make It
Bring milk, cardamom, cinnamon stick, and syrup to a simmer in a saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in tahini, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Strain into a glass. Discard cardamom pods, and reserve cinnamon stick. Add bourbon; stir. Garnish with reserved cinnamon stick and ground cinnamon, if desired.
