Local divey Hong Kong restaurant has hot cola with lots of lemon. Tasty! (Friend of mine describes its cuisine as “places you only go late at night when you’re drunk”.) It’s also possible to make with Diet Coke, but doesn’t work as well; the sugars are part of the mouthfeel.
And yes, my midwestern grandma also made hot lemonade.
That Milk Bar place sounds too much like Clockwork Orange …
Google keeps sending me to where Milk Bar is a kind of milk-solids laden rice krispie situation, I guess if you threw condensed milk in? No lactating manumission, more like grape juice in milk with maltose thrown in (available in lactose and non-lactose for your tolerance,) plus an ounce and a half of gin in a 16 oz. serving. (Or half-strength lime juice.) Is your tuxedo subscription service giving you stress? [I checked no on the walking stick. Just trying to push reform shabbat forward, and they send this…]
Also just all that art going in at CookingIssues.com like Ginger milk curd – Khymos
Wow, I hope I can get mobile. [Spots prune juice ‘warriors drink’ line and cracks up.]
Between the hot soda and the milk bar talk, I recalled as a kid I used to love mixing root beer and milk about 50/50. I think I got the idea from the tv show “Laverne & Shirley” when one of them mixed Pepsi and milk.
Was this a normal thing in the late ‘80s? I always drank it cold to Luke-warm, never hot.
Did that work very well? In my experience the carbonation curdles the milk product quickly (rumchata, in my case)
Yes, it was really yummy (you know, to a 10-year old’s sophisticated palate). It was kind of like chocolate milk, but with sassafras and whatever other flavorings go into rootbeer - a little more nuanced than chocolate milk.
Never, ever curdled.
I have had a couple unpleasant experiences with alcoholic beverages mixed with dairy…I vaguely remember a drink called the hemorrhaging brain. Ewww.
