Brandy Milk Punch (Paunch)

Brandy Milk Punch (or Paunch as we call it), has become a holiday favorite. It's simple and easy. It came from Brennan's in New Orleans by way of our friend Suzanna.

Here's my translation for a batch.

Ingredients (about 8 servings)

• 12oz Brandy
• 1c simple syrup (1:1 - 1c white sugar to 1c water heated and cooled makes a little more than you need.)
• 1qt half and half
• 2T vanilla extract
• 8 grinds (or dashes) of nutmeg

Serve on ice (if you like that.)
