Milk, the nutritional protein and lactose packed white stuff, is used in some cocktails for a foamy structure and leathery mouthfeel. It is also used in a technique called fat-washing, google dat!
1. Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the zest from 8 lemons, taking care to avoid the white pith. Add the lemon zest to a large airtight container.
2. Peel and core the pineapple and cut into large chunks, and add them to the lemon peels.
3. Coarsely grind the spices with a mortar and pestle. Add the spices to the container, along with the sugar and the juice of 6 lemons. Muddle the mixture.
4. Pour in the brewed green tea as well as the spirits and bitters and stir to combine. Add boiling water and immediately cover so the liquid doesn’t evaporate. Let sit overnight, then strain the mixture into a clean container.
5. Bring the milk to a boil but don’t burn. Add the boiling milk and the juice of the remaining 2 lemons to the strained mixture—the milk will curdle and the solids will coagulate. Let sit for 30 min to 1 hr.
6. Strain the liquid a little at a time (or split between multiple strainers) through a fine chinois lined with cheesecloth, replacing the cheesecloth if it becomes too thickly layered with milk solids, however a fine layer of milk solids stuck in the cloth is key to a clear strain. Re-strain again using the same cloth until punch becomes crystal clear.
