Pot Milk

[True Religion]

I made a recipe for a wicked ass drink, but I have one problem: Sometimes it works, sometimes it *doesn't*.

My sister wants me to make bottles of it and she said she'd sell it.

Basically it's pot boiled with milk plus a few other ingredients...

The problem I'm having, and am looking for help with is how do i get consistency with it? I made a batch for my sister and I, and we were on our asses for the whole day basically, but the next time I did it (identically), it DIDN'T work. The only difference I can spot between the first and second time is that the first time I burned alot, let it boil over twice by accident, and it was just overall a much messier process than the second time I tried (when it DIDN'T work...)...

I chopped the stuff up nice and fine, put it in milk and boil it for an hour, stirring it as to not burn it too much. Sometimes I turn it down to a simmer, but It seems to me that a simmer isn't hot enough...

Anyone have any suggestions?
tnx

with that i'd say that you weren't using enough heat, boilovers mean heat, and lots of it, if it wasn't near as messy you obviously had to of used less heat (trying to stop the boilovers and whatnot before they even happened) or you used more ingredients the 2nd time, and thus need more heat, or seperate it into two batches or however many is needed.

also what kind of milk are you using? i would imagine whole milk would be the best, since it does have the highest fat content.. did you use two diffrent types durring both proccesses?

oh yea for the burning you need a double boiler, what you do is take a large saucepan (as big as you can find) and find another one that will fit inside it, but still has about a 1/2 inch all the way around between the two (i.e. you should be able to just set the smaller one inside the bigger one, and it should be far from 'snug') then you put water in the larger pot, fill it up about half way, take the 2nd pot and push it down as far as it goes in the large one, eliminating excess water (then you need to take out about another 1/4-1/2 cup) this means there's never any dirrect flame on your milk, there is only good ol' heat which is what you want.. the water in the larger pot will boil, heating up the smaller one, you need as much water in it as possible, without it boiling over the sides or into the pot your using to heat the milk mixture in.

I tried using a double boiler when making butter, and it *looked* like it did a good enough job. I may do that with my milk too. Is it hot enough with the double boiler do u think???

I was using 2% Lactose Free milk. Not optimal, but thats what I had in my fridge, and like i said, first batch got my sister and I stoned for the whole day... *shrug*

tnx for the fast responses! hehe

Another thing you can do is watch the mixture as it's cooking and quickly remove the pot as the boil over nears the top. As it settles back down, put the pot back on the stove and repeat. This way you keep that fairly consistent high heat.

oh, almost forgot...
this is not so much a problem as I think squeezing it out after works well enough, but it seems that my milk grows skin when i'm cooking it, and it doens't quite dissolve back into the milk... am i losing THC in this, or can I just wring it out with cheesecloth and use the liquid that comes out?

Well, If you are gonna be selling it in several bottles, make several batches, and mix them together to make an average or "formula" and then dispense that between the bottles, that way even if one of the batches sucks, they will all be of the same strength.

I'll take 3 gallons.

Right you are. too hot = no thc

Too hot = No THC??? Doesn't it stay stable even when heated really really high? I think it does, if it didn't then how would a vapourizer work??? :s

Yes, my special ingredients make it delicious... The end product is like a Starbucks iced mocha or iced cappucino that you buy in the stores... DELICIOUS! hahaha get's ya friend for at least six hours too, and longer...
