Clarified milk punches date back to the 1600’s, but we think it’s a recipe that has finally come full circle with the addition of Wheyward Spirit. We love this cocktail because it’s just as much a journey in food science as it is mixology! This labor of love leads to a pre-batched and incredibly smooth flavorful punch that can be stored for weeks and quickly served for large groups.
Our crystal clear Tropical Milk Punch is a beautiful color with a tropical brightness, cooling mint and green tea undertones, rounded out by a silky smoothness.
2 cups Double Strength Tea (We use a blend of mint, green, and lemongrass)
2/3 cup Wheyward Spirit
2 oz Falernum
½ cup Pineapple Juice
2 oz Lime Juice
¼ cup Sugar
1 Cup Milk
Add milk to a large pitcher and let sit. Brew the tea then add all other ingredients except for the milk. Stir well and add some additional sugar for sweetness if desired. SLOWLY add the mixture to the milk while stirring. You should see curdling right away. Let the mixture sit for 30-60 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Then strain the liquid through a cheesecloth to catch most of the solids, followed by straining through a coffee filter until no cloudiness remains. Pour into jars and store in the fridge. It will last for a few weeks if you don't drink it first. Serve the punch on a large ice cube and enjoy!
