Milk Punch with Bourbon and Brandy Recipe
Tina and Tiffany, our hostesses for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn book club party, found this fabulous recipe for milk punch on FoodNetwork.com. I was thinking it would have the consistency of eggnog but was pleasantly surprised at the smoothness and lightness of this body warming drink.

I don’t know why this just has immediately drawn me in! I am trying to return back to my vegan ways so I will have to use soy milk, perhaps? Well, anything with brandy, bourbon, vanilla extract…yep, it’s all good!

Definitely the brandy, bourbon and vanilla make this drink – it is so delicious and I think soy milk would work perfectly.
