It's a brilliant idea, but there is an important mistakes in the presentation. The amount of acid you need to curdle milk depends on the temperature. If you do it at 6 C you will need a *lot* more acid than if you do it at 80 C. This is the reason for heating whey when making ricotta cheese. The reason the milk syrup does not taste acidic is because you heated the milk. If you don't, then the syrup will definitely taste acidic. You can easily do this with with "natural" lactic acid instead of citric acid. Add a spoonful of yogurt to your milk/cream. Heat the mixture to 40-50 C and hold it there for 2-3 hours. This allows the yogurt to work. Then heat the mixture until the curds form. Let it sit and then drain. Also, the addition of the cream increases the cost quite a bit and I think it's mostly wasted. The only difference is the fat content and the way the fat is wrapped up in the curd. If you use homogenised milk, the fat sticks to the protein and will stay in your cheese. If you use non-homogenised milk, then the fat stays in its globules. If stir a bit when the curds are forming, you will allow the fat to escape. This will make the whey cloudy because of the fat. Some cream is also homogenised and also has thickeners in it. Adding this to the milk will not make any appreciable difference to the whey. If your goal is to make a creamy whey syrup, then you want to use non-homogenised milk (which may be very difficult to find, depending on where you live). Anyway, it had never occurred to me to make a syrup from sweet whey. I make cheese as a hobby and usually have liters of the stuff that ends up on the compost heap. Another cool thing to use it for!

[@sarkastico]

Thanks for the info. Nice to learn something new from people outside of the bartending industry 😊

[@shrimpkins]

What happens if you only use yogurt, and no milk?

[@Elemento-115]

Another idea I can give for those who doesn't know it already. You leave 1 spoon of Flax seeds sit with water (1:3 ratios) and that will make a viscous mix, strain the seeds and there you go. False egg white.

[@ellyam991]

Same with chia seeds! I wonder if it acts similarly to egg white in cocktails though. I know it can work for baking

[@KevinKos]

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

[@phantomhandofcocktailtime6911]

This idea is better than good, it’s legen-dairy 😉

[@bluupadoop]

Ditto for this comment 👍

[@mattia_carciola]

Legen wait-for-it dairy!

[@LuisOrtega-jn4vd]

Hello Kevin, I made it with fresh blended coconut milk and it turned out fantastic, same ratios, but different milk source!! But your idea was the body of my project..thanks a lot

[@KevinKos]

Awesome!

[@shrimpkins]

Does the coconut flavor still come through, and if so does it limit your drink applications?

[@annagyure4844]

If you add salt to the curds after you strain, you get a 2 in 1! Some fresh cheese and a delicious milk syrup! Normally when I make cheese, I just strain the liquid down the drain, but now, it won’t go to waste 😊

[@brokenrecord3523]

Do you use citric acid or rennet?

[@annagyure4844]

I always use citric acid

[@eyespy3001]

The quick whey of doing this would be to use unflavored whey protein powder and reconstitute it with the simple syrup.

Came out great, cheers for the recipe. If anyone is curious my clarified milk brix was 7 and I’m in Canada, so I’m sure the estimate of 6 is pretty bang on.

[@KevinKos]

Awesome! Cheers!

[@JSOS]

Great tips as always. Replacing egg white helps a lot in a busy bar. Cheers Kevin!

[@KevinKos]

Thanks for watching!

[@nicholassok5797]

I learned that using Demerara sugar and making it as a regular simple syrup with milk makes it curdle in the process, making it easier to strain right away

[@tgottwalt]

Another great video, Kevin. I thought Super Syrup was a bit tedious to make, so I'll definitely give this a try!

[@dsking416]

I make the Super Syrup minus the sugar this way I can tune the sweetness separately of the foamer content. I make it in bulk then vacuum seal it then freeze it, it works out perfectly.

[@KevinKos]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing it!

[@tzor]

🥛This is a great idea of introducing the feel of the whey of the milk without having to go through the long clarification process for each cocktail. I'm still a fan of aquafaba only because I like eating canned chickpeas, and I don't want to waste the liquid, but this is another great alternative.

[@brokenrecord3523]

Eggs are best, but aquafaba is my favorite substitute. I just can't get the super syrup to work and it glues the lid shut. I'm not confident in the milk, but will give it a try.

Is it possible to skip whole curdling milk part and just buy whey in the store, since it is basically the same thing?

[@willibtx]

Thanks for all your innovative techniques 🥛

[@KevinKos]

My pleasure!

[@crazycodkiller]

Can you combine the two ideas? Like make this syrup2:1, mix it with xantham gum, then add the hydrated gum Arabic and the methyl cellulose solution? The only problem with the super syrup was that it didn’t nullify the tannins enough and it just made a frothy head with a full body from the gum Arabic. Maybe this way it reaches even closer to the undisputed king that is egg white.

[@donmir8128]

Hello Kevin, greetings, does the syrup still works as a foamer without the sugar?

[@austinwilliams3305]

I'm a big fan of milk liqeur, essentially the same with vodka and an orange/lemon oleo saccharum. I've had a bottle in the fridge for nearly a year and it still good

Excellent episode🥛

[@Moeflyer6213]

There was a Japanese cocktail called the "Kaikan Fizz". It was a variation of gin fizz invented by the Japanese bartenders after the end of WWII. After Japan was captured and ruled by the GHQ. The clubhouses in Japan were become the recreational venues for the US soldiers, but it lead to binge drinking and caused a lot of troubles. For that reason, General MacArthur banned his men from drinking in order to recify the alcoholism among US troops. Therefore, some bartender invented a recipe to made the gin fizz looks like a glass of milkshake and named it "Morning Fizz", and then the name changed to "Kaikan Fizz". And what you made in this video is really similar to Kaikan Fizz.

[@PhilipDouglass1]

I’m going to have to try this!🥛

[@dpgdigit]

what about using white vinegar instead of citric acid, that what is usually used to make home cheese ?

[@KevinKos]

Vinegar can be, of course, used too, but this might add some additional flavor.

[@galartsi]

Hi Kevin, what do you think about adding the salt directly to the syrup (any syrup) instead of adding a few drops every time? wouldn't it be more efficient?

[@mattia_carciola]

It's probably a way to tune it depending on the recipe, this way if a lot of syrup is required, the drink won't taste salty

[@polerempel]

Salt reduces the sensation of bitterness. In any drink with more bitter components, it would be a case of adding an extra drop.

[@gfmack13]

🥛 Sounds interesting

[@Zooblegar]

Not sure i understood, it produces a less foam and its less stable?

[@KevinKos]

there is less foam.

[@gabrielpitaa]

[@eafarrar]

Could you do this with leftover yogurt whey? (e.g., from straining Greek yogurt.)

[@KevinKos]

That can be used, too. It will be a bit different in taste but in a similar direction with the texture.

[@TheEragon553]

Can you make this syrup with just milk? Is there any specific reason why you add the cream also?

[@eafarrar]

Added fat content, probably.

[@PaladinLostHour]

🥛Question: How would you interpret a Ramos Gin Fizz with this? I love the idea of subbing out the egg-white so you don't have to beat the cocktail to death shaking it, but Milk Syrup and Heavy Cream?

[@nolansykinsley3734]

The milk syrup does not add any dairy flavor so I would still use the heavy cream as advised in the original recipe and just replace the 3/4 oz simple syrup with the milk syrup.

[@Seedy_Sea]

What would the shelf life of the milk syrup be?

[@RiversideM]

2:14 confused me, 0.75ml is less than a drop of water and 22.5oz is 665ml, which is a lot. The other way round, 0.75oz~22ml, makes more sense lol

what's the point of using cream if the fat is just going to be curdled out?

[@VinodKumar-xb5ud]

Bhai bhai 🎉

[@neirenoir]

I wonder: do you have any guides on how to calculate gum proportions per liquid to give them a range of desired thicknesses? I wanted to make a slightly less caloric alternative to cream with skimmed milk and arabic gum, but I think I added too much because it tasted off.

[@herrmitngwehr]

Idk why but it doesn't clarify... I did it three times. I used whole milk with 3.5% fat and whole cream with 35%. Also used the first time one layer of cheese cloth and the second time two. Also used 30ml of the acid mixture the 2nd time. 3rd time is a charm? Nope. The cream I used the first was lacto free. Now I switched to regular 35%. The acid I used first was a mixture. Now I've used only citric and it is still cloudy🫣🥹

[@KevinKos]

sorry to hear that. Did you heat the mixture before?

​@@KevinKos tried two ways. Heated and cold. Did not work. At least I had cottage cheese afterwards

[@juliamconeme415]

😮🥛👌

[@SK-nh9gh]

The liquid you are producing when curdling the milk has a name: whey. You can also just buy this at a store instead of doing it yourself. It's a common enough dairy product.

[@nolansykinsley3734]

I have never in my life seen whey available for sale at the store. I have seen whey protein powder and other such powdered supplements, but never liquid whey, it is considered a waste product in the dairy industry and is usually just dumped.

you are right! I just wanted ti share the wholem process if someone can't find it in stores. Cheers!
