This miso syrup can be stored for up to 3 months in the fridge. Next, assemble the milk-punch base for the cocktail: in a #jar{}, combine @brown butter-washed aged rum{150%ml}, @banana liqueur{50%ml}, @bourbon vanilla{1%bean}, @chai tea{120%g}, @cinnamon stick{1%stick}, @acid-adjusted orange juice{100%g}, @citric acid powder{5.2%g}, and @miso syrup{60%g}. Stir to blend the flavors. In a separate #jar{}, combine @whole milk{75%g} and @almond milk{75%g}. Then pour the cocktail mixture from the first jar over the milky base, letting the flavors mingle. Allow the mixture to curdle and infuse overnight in the fridge, then strain the mixture through a #cheesecloth{} or #coffee filter{} to clear. The clarification occurs primarily due to the milk, so patience helps; wait a few minutes for the first drops to become clearer before proceeding. Pour the clarified liquid back over the solids in a clean container and let it settle further, if needed. The drink can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 months and served without shaking—just pour. --
