this is from Folk Wines, Cordials & Brandies by
M. A. Jagendorf. this is unusual and really good, of course. it's Irish and a very old recipe with a "delicious, indescribably fine flavor."
Bainnecor Liqueur (milk liqueur)
original recipe:
3 lbs sugar
2 quarts grade A milk - whole
1 qt pure alcohol (190 proof)
1 lemon
1 oz vanilla beans
Pour the milk into a gallon jar. cut the lemon into small pieces, don't waste any of the juice, and add the lemon and the juice to the milk. Add the alchol and the sugar and then the vanilla. shake thouroughly and allow to stand for 2 - 3 weeks.
filter through paper and bottle.
the original recipe tends to be a little too sweet so use 3/4 lb sugar and 1 1/2 quarts milk. the curds can be used in a dessert or with fresh berries.
you can get 190 proof grain alchol in your liquor
store. (it comes with a warning on the label) but I think 100 - 150 proof would work fine. it is a liqueur so you won't be drinking large glasses.
it's really, really good.
enjoy
