30ml Macadamia Milk and Vanilla Bean Syrup
25ml Acidified Lemon Juice
2 dashes Boker’s Bitters
30ml Full cream milk
Carbonation
METHOD
This is a carbonated milk punch so I’ve broken down the method into three steps. Milk punch: combine 700ml of Makers Mark, 350ml of Macadamia Milk and Vanilla Bean Syrup, and 280ml of Acidified Lemon Juice in a large container. Allow to rest in a fridge for two hours. Gently pour mixture into 300ml of room temperature full cream milk. Allow to rest in a fridge for at least 6 hours. Gently strain the mixture through A cheese cloth, save the strained curds for the garnish. Carbonation: Carbonate the milk punch and leave under pressure in a fridge for at least two hours. Serving: Pour 120ml into a Highball, gently insert large ice block, place Frozen Curd Button on top of the large ice block.
