Description

This easy milk punch recipe creates a velvety, sweet beverage with a creamy texture using pantry staples. It is perfect for a quick comforting treat for busy parents or anyone wanting warmth in their day.

Ingredients

Scale

4 cups whole milk (consider 2% milk or non-dairy for lighter options)
1.25 cups sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for a deeper aroma, consider vanilla bean paste)
A generous pinch ground nutmeg, optional

Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Gather all ingredients; you will need a large pitcher or bowl for mixing.
Combine Ingredients: Gently combine the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in your pitcher. Stir well until the mixture is fully blended and smooth with no separated layers.
Chill Flavors: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. (If short on time, stirring every 30 minutes during chilling can help infuse flavors faster.)
Serve Chilled: Serve your delicious milk punch well-chilled for ultimate refreshment. The longer it chills, the richer the taste becomes.

Notes

For best taste, use good quality milk and vanilla. Consider non-dairy milks (almond, oat, full-fat coconut) or other spices (cinnamon, cardamom) or almond extract for variations. Adjust sweetness by reducing sweetened condensed milk or using unsweetened non-dairy condensed milk. Adjust texture by adding more milk if too thick, or chilling longer if too thin. Can be served immediately over ice if chilling time is not available.
