For the milk-and-honey mix:
3 1⁄4 cups full-cream milk
1 1⁄2 cups brandy
3⁄4 cup Swartland honey
1 fig leaf
1 cinnamon stick
1 whole nutmeg, cracked
For the milk snow:
3 1⁄4 cups full-cream milk
3⁄4 cup Swartland honey
1 fig leaf
For the honeycomb:
75 g Swartland honey
140 g liquid gluclose
6 T water
400 g caster sugar
2 T bicarbonate of soda

Cooking Instructions

To make the milk-and-honey mix, place all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat to roughly 60°C (too hot to keep your finger in the mixture for 3 seconds). Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, strain, bottle and chill.

To make the milk snow, place all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat to 60°C (too hot to keep your finger in the mixture for 3 seconds). Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Once cooled, strain into a cream siphon, charge with 2 nitrogen dioxide bulbs and chill.

Pour the chilled milk-and-honey mix into a white ceramic cup. Garnish with milk snow and honeycomb.

To make the honeycomb, place the honey, liquid glucose, water and sugar in a large heavy-based saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and cook until the mixture starts to turn a light golden colour. Mix in the bicarbonate of soda. The mixture will erupt into a foaming mass. Pour into a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Allow to cool, then chill to set for 7–10 minutes. Store in an airtight jar.
