Clarified Milk - How To Make The Best Crystal Clear Milk Punch Recipe | With & Without Alcohol

[@TheWeePearl]

Hello and welcome back! Clarified milk punch is one of my favorite cocktails. It’s easier to make than it looks, just follow a few tips that I mention in the video. Remember- small curds are better than large curds, so keep that milk moving once you add the citrus. I hope you give this recipe a try and feel free to take liberties with the ingredients- I have never had a bad milk punch- so go wild with it and let me know in the comments below how it turned out and what variation you went with. Cheers!

Hey thanks for the terrific instructions. I really want to give milk punch a try. It sounds great as a base!! I'm excited to give this a try!! Thanks so much!! I'm guessing oat milk wouldn't work? I really love it!! Cheers!! 🙂

[@TheWeePearl]

@@christinecamley thank you so much! You know I haven’t tried it with oat milk, but I think I will test it out. I’ve made it with coconut milk in the past with great results

[@christinecamley]

@@TheWeePearl I can see coconut milk being a great choice. I'd love to see how this works out with oat milk!!

[@TheTribalBarGuy]

WOW, the idea to make the milk punch alcohol free and having the freedom to mix it with whatever alcohol you want is great. Definitely worth the time. Thanks. Cheers!

[@TheWeePearl]

Thank you so much! It’s surprising how different spirits can highlight the different flavors in the milk punch. Cheers!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

Fantastic video- I love the technique and the flavors, and your imagery is gorgeous. I'm a new fan :)

[@TheWeePearl]

Welcome! And thank you so much for your kind words. Cheers!

Your voice is so soothing and your clip really helped me

[@TheWeePearl]

Thank you! I’m glad it helped!

[@SanguineBrandon]

I never knew the milk punch could be made like this. Been a big fan of this method and any new knowledge helps. Thank you!

[@TheWeePearl]

Thank you! It’s my favorite method. I think heating the milk helps to get smaller curds making the clarifying process go much faster. Cheers!

[@CoachVinoLLC]

I’m sorry I never got to eat at Betony before it closed. 😕 Such a pretty drink. Very technical video. 👍🏽

[@TheWeePearl]

Thank you! It was one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs I ever had. It was a sad day when we closed.

[@Micchhael]

Good and short! But i have a question. Can you use wine instead of tea? And will the alcohol stay?

[@TheWeePearl]

Yes and yes! The curds will pull some tannins and color from the wine, but the alcohol will remain

Hey, thanks for the great video! What is the heating of the milk before adding the lemon for? I made milk punch a few days ago but forgot to heat it and it turned out fine (I think at least)

[@randyperry9023]

I love milk punch. I can’t wait to try this.

[@TheWeePearl]

Me too! I hope you enjoy 😊

[@razor191919]

Do you have any tips for wanting to make a vodka based crystal clear cocktail that tastes like a cream sickle using this method? Ps: I find your videos extremely relaxing and informative as well as beautifully edited/shot.

[@TheWeePearl]

Definitely! I have done this before. You can use a vanilla vodka, orange juice (and a little bit of lemon juice) and milk. It’s super simple and it comes out so clear. Once the punch is ready, add simple syrup to taste.

[@razor191919]

Amazing video for both quality and instructional content! I was wondering how long did the filtering process take in total? I want to schedule my weekend accordingly lol

[@TheWeePearl]

Thank you! For this particular recipe, the filtering took a little over an hour. More pigmented juices and ingredients will take more passes. Cheers!

[@cccspwn]

@@TheWeePearl thank you I’ll give it a shot this weekend! Will update with results (hopefully good ones lol)

[@cccspwn]

Update: it went really well! I ended up using rum, pineapple juice, and black tea as its main ingredients. I didn’t get it as clear as you did but it was delicious never the less :). Next time I’ll use more milk, I think it could have used more smoothness

[@TheWeePearl]

@@cccspwn awesome! Thanks for sharing your results!

[@leewardstyle]

Great video! Question, if vinegar is used to clarify the milk will it be as shelf-stable as if alcohol was added?

[@TheWeePearl]

That’s a great question! The amount of vinegar compared to the volume of the drink itself is quite small. Unfortunately it’s not enough acid to keep the punch from fermenting, though it might last a bit longer in the refrigerator than most other milk punches. Freezing the punch is a great way to preserve it though. Just don’t add the alcohol before freezing.

[@leewardstyle]

@@TheWeePearlThat makes sense. Only one way to learn more... whip up a batch myself.

[@TheWeePearl]

@@leewardstyle absolutely! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

How have I never heard of this before? Rob’s Home Bar just put out a video this AM on same milk clarification process but with a Mai Tai. Is the trending lol, because that means I won’t believe it; I’ll create a video six months from now and then wonder why I’m not getting views lol. -Theresa

Clarifying was super hot this summer but cooled off. Looks like it’s picking up again. 😅

[@leonardogrimm9605]

How do you think this recipe would work in a kombucha? The milk punch being the liquid with the scoby and going through the fermentation process.

[@TheWeePearl]

It probably wouldn’t ferment. The fat from the milk would form a barrier around the scoby, though I have never tried it myself. I have researched using other kinds of flavored teas to make kombucha, but even the oils from the bergamot in earl grey tea form a barrier and actually starve the scoby. Alternatively you could use kombucha as the acid to make milk punch!

[@leonardogrimm9605]

@@TheWeePearl thanks for replying, makes a lot of sense. Will do some tests and let's see what happens!

@@TheWeePearl So far, the tea I used fermented the Kombucha, using a mix of black tea, rose, fig, and some other fruits. Starting the milk punch process today and will leave it with the scooby for at least 10-15 days.
