Steps:
- Heat milk in a medium saucepan until scalding and small bubbles are forming around the edges, but just before the milk reaches a boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in the water, butter, molasses, sugar, orange zest, anise seed, caraway seed, cardamom and salt; allow to step and cool 30 minutes at room temperature.

- Be sure to soak the raisins in hot water for at least 15 minutes before adding them to the dough. This will help to plump them up and make them more flavorful.
