Notes
Best milk: The key to a good milk punch is fresh milk. Use the highest quality milk you can get! Local is even better.
Make it dairy-free and vegan: Make milk punch dairy free by using a milk substitute like almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
Make it thicker or thinner: I like whole milk because it makes this drink really creamy, but you can use 2% or skim. You can also stir in some heavy cream for an extra creamy drink.
Sweetness & flavors: Give the milk punch a taste before serving. If you find that it isn’t sweet enough, you can add an extra splash of simple syrup. You can experiment with flavors like using a quality cinnamon whiskey or homemade vanilla syrup to enhance the drink. Maple syrup is a delicious (and festive) sweetener to use if you don’t have simple syrup.
