Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of milk, 1/2 cup of brandy, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and nutmeg for garnish.
- In a mixing bowl or a large pitcher, combine the powdered sugar and vanilla extract with the milk. Whisk together until the powdered sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly pour in the brandy while continuing to whisk the mixture gently. This will help to incorporate the brandy evenly throughout the milk.
- Once all the ingredients are well combined, taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a little more powdered sugar and whisk again until dissolved.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a few minutes if desired, or serve immediately over ice in four glasses.
- To serve, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top of each glass as a garnish for added flavor and a festive touch.
- Enjoy your Holiday Drinks Brandy Milk Punch with friends and family!
