FAIRY MILK
My mother used to fix this for me as a child, I still love it and fix it for my kids.
4 cups very cold milk
To each cup of milk add:
2 qts. apple cider, preferably fresh and unfiltered
1.In a nonreactive pan, combine the cider, brown sugar, short cinnamon sticks, cloves, and all-spice.
2 litre 7-UP
1.Soften the lime sherbert.
It should be almost soupy, but not quite.
This tastes very creamy and refreshing. You can make it non-alcoholic by using gingerale and 7-UP.
CAUTION! If you live in an area heavy with pollution, I would not recommend this recipe!!
3 cups snow
1.Put snow in a large bottle.
We LOVE this easy to make punch. Unlike some other punches, it isn't a sweet sticky thing. It's fruity and refreshing and packs a "punch".
Put 10 pounds of ice cubes in a large canning pot, about four hours before you want to serve the punch, then, Dump on top of the ice:
8 teasp sugar (or to taste)
4 teasp vanilla flavoring (or to taste)
food coloring (your choice of color)
2 teasp sugar
1 teasp vanilla flavoring
1-2 drops of food coloring
Stir well and serve
Variation:
This can also be served warm by heating the milk up slightly, I just never cared for it too much that way.
1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
2 pieces (2 inches each) cinnamon stick
12 whole cloves
12 allspice berries
2 c. dark rum
1/2 stick (4 tbsps.) unsalted butter, sliced into 8 pats
(optional)
8 long cinnamon sticks, for garnish
2.Set over medium-low heat, partially cover, and slowly bring just to a boil, stirring occasionally and skimming any scum that forms on the surface.
3. Meanwhile, divide the rum among 8 large mugs & Drop a pat of butter and a cinnamon stick into each mug.
4.Strain the cider into the mugs and serve immediately.
Serves 8
1 magnum champagne
1 quart lime sherbert
fruit slices such as oranges, pineapple etc.
2.Place one half of the quart in a large punch bowl.
3. Pour the champagne and the 7-UP, at the same time, over the sherbert until the bowl is full.
4. Stir until mixed, but not vigorously.
5. Add some of the fruit slices for color.
Variation:
2 litre 7-UP
1 quart of a good fruity white wine such as a gewerstraminier
1 1/2 pineapple sherbert
Proceed as above.
2 Tbsp. milk
Flavoring Any Kind
3 to 4 cups sugar, or to taste
2. Add milk and the flavoring of your choice.
3.Add sugar.
4.Seal bottle with lid or cap and shake until milky.
Serve
This drink can be stored in the refrigerator.
7-8 cups
2 large cans frozen, unthawed orange juice
1 large can frozen unthawed pink lemonade
1 large can frozen unthawed limeade
1 small jar maraschino cherries, juice included, optional
1 quart vodka
mix it, but not too much!
It looks dreadful for about three hours, lumps of ice and lumps of frozen juice. The pot gets covered in a thick layer of frost rather quickly, so don't set it out on a nice surface unless the bottom is well insulated! All of a sudden, it turns into punch.
Stir it a few times during the four hours.
NOTE: don't refrigerate this while it's making.
