If you follow the age-old recipe to a T, it will take around three days to make a Clarified Milk Punch. On the first day, you imbue the liquor with the flavour of the spices; on the second day you combine it with the rest of the ingredients (including boiling water) and allow it to cool overnight. On the third day, you carefully strain it up to 4 or 5 times to get the clarity exactly where you want it. It’s a labour of love.
