Thank you very much. Are you planning on drinking it tomorrow?? It's going to be, shall we say, a little "raw".
It's much better when it sits for a while. Save some and have it New Year's Eve. You'll see a marked difference.
Have fun!!

I had a couple of cups of my 2nd batch (made about a week ago)today, and then proceeded to try to make a half batch with some leftover ingredients I didn't use up.
Well I committed the cardinal of recipe halving or doubling--I did not write down the new amounts. So, I added a pint of Brandy instead of a half pint, and a punch cup of rum instead of 1/2.
I added some extra milk to try and dilute it, but I don't think it's going to work out very well.
Sad.

WOW!
This stuff strong but good. Is it normal for the mixture to settle? I made my first batch on the 23rd. I just took it out of the fridge (today is our Christmas) and I've got foam on the top and liquid on the bottom. It tastes great but I think I will cut down just a little on the burbon next time.

So tell me, what is the optimal time to wait before drinking it? It must take some serious willpower to wait for it. I had a little right after making it on Christmas Eve, and more yesterday. It was fabulous both times. Unlike last year, there is still a little left, but I doubt it survives past tonight. ;-)
