Rich says “A traditional milk punch with a festive twist that requires a few hours prep as you need to split the milk and citrus. In this recipe Honteri is mixed with a little sugar syrup to create an amazing balance of sweetness and, again, that all important texture!”
Pairs with Shiitake Broth & Miso Tofu Shot
Level: Easy
Serves: 1
Prep Time: 60 mins
Cook Time: n/a
50ml Scotch (Rich uses Johnnie Walker)
5g white miso
1/3 tonka bean
2g cinnamon stick
30ml lemon juice
25ml almond milk (or regular milk if non-vegan)
20ml Mizkan Honteri Mirin-style
2ml sugar syrup
1. In a tall vessel add the whisky, lemon juice, tonka bean and cinnamon. Leave to infuse overnight in the fridge.
2. The next day, remove the vessel from the fridge. In a separate – and similar – vessel, pour in the milk.
3. Being careful, pour the whisky mix into the milk, ensuring all the spices stay infusing. Note – the milk should start to curdle – set aside for approximately 1 hour, then carefully pour through a coffee filter to collect the milk solids. Repeat this last step – through the same coffee filter to ensure the liquid is not cloudy.
4. Balance with 20ml Honteri and 2ml sugar syrup per drink for sweetness.
