Notes

When I revisited the cereal milk punch from ages ago, it simply wasn’t as good as I remembered! Ethanol dominated the cereal milk flavor, and there was a complexity missing. Mr Black is strong enough at 50 proof, the right sweetness level, and has a true coffee flavor. Spot on!

So I forgot that for the cereal milk punch, I used a variant of cereal milk with 3 cups whole milk and 3/4 cups heavy cream. (The recipe from the Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook uses milk only.) The extra fat must have balanced out the higher proof alcohol in the punch. Glad that the punch didn’t work though, since the coffee flavor adds a fun dimension—and it’s a lot easier to make!
