Description: Today on the show we're tackling Clarified Milk Punch yet again, this time looking into a historic recipe first written down by one of the founding fathers of America Benjamin Franklin. We did our best to faithfully recreate the recipe as Witten by Franklin with no modern upgrades. Although truthfully we had to cut the recipe down a bit as the original was for something like two gallons of punch! Franklin's Clarified Milk Punch recipe shares characteristics of two types of beverages--possets and syllabubs. Possets combine hot milk with ale, wine, or brandy, sugar, and spices. Heat and alcohol curdle the milk. Possets were used as remedies for colds, and were consumed from the spout of a posset cup, which let one drink the whey from the bottom and eat the curd later. Syllabubs combine milk with wine and lemon juice (or other acids); the acid from the wine and juice curdle the milk. Served in a glass, the foamy curd of the syllabub is eaten with a spoon and the punch drunk. 🍸 Top tools we recommend 🥄 Antique Style Weighted Tin Set: amzn.to/2YnjvHH Barfly Measuring Cup Jigger: amzn.to/3j4jFfe Barfly Mixing Glass (17oz): amzn.to/3iP1DNv GE Pebble Ice Machine: amzn.to/3oRw2yl Large Hand Juicer: amzn.to/3GhI3GB Y Peelers: amzn.to/3jDOASh Our Glassware in Collaboration Amehla 🍸 Nick and Nora Cocktail Coupes amzn.to/3oJKtHw 🥃 Old Fashioned Glass Heavy Base amzn.to/2Yuv42Q Full Store amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly 00:00 What DO you know about Benny F? 01:28 Intro 01:43 Open 02:00 Before we start you NEED TO KNOW 02:40 Ok, tutorial starts 10:07 Tasting 11:58 Outtakes and Bloopers Support 🙏 Virtual Bottle with your name on it: tinyurl.com/barflybottle Support on Patreon: tinyurl.com/barflypatreon Support us on YouTube Memberships: tinyurl.com/barflymember 🍸 The Awesome and professional Bar Ware is supplied by Barfly Mixology Gear barflybymercer.com 🍹📅 Do you like Cocktail Holidays?

Remove peel from all 11 lemons with a vegetable peeler, taking care to remove only the yellow part of the rind. Add lemon peel to brandy and steep for 24 hours. Juice lemons until you have 2 cups of lemon juice (about 5 or 6 lemons). Reserve lemon juice in refrigerator until needed. Using a microplane will ensure you get only zest and not the bitter white portion underneath. 2. When lemon peels have steeped 24 hours at room temperature, strain brandy and discard lemon peel. Add lemon juice, water, sugar and freshly grated nutmeg to brandy and stir well. 3. Heat milk in large pot over medium heat, taking care not to burn or scorch it. When milk is hot, turn off heat and slowly add in brandy mixture. Curds will form immediately. Let mixture sit 5 minutes, then gently stir. Let sit another 20 minutes, stir gently, then allow mixture to sit for another 1.5 hours, undisturbed. 4. Strain through a nut milk bag and then again through a Coffee Filter. This will take a long while and it's well worth it. Be Patient!!!!!
