All-in-one White Sauce
The golden rule here is to use cold milk. So if you want to infuse the milk, pour it into a bowl and let it get completely cold before you begin.

Method
When you're ready to make the sauce, put the milk in a saucepan, then simply add the flour and butter and bring everything gradually up to simmering point, whisking continuously with a balloon whisk, until the sauce has thickened and becomes smooth and glossy.
Then turn the heat down to its lowest possible setting and let the sauce cook very gently for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time. Meanwhile, taste and add seasoning.
