Tips & Tricks
If evaporated milk is not readily available, you can make it at home by simmering twice the amount of milk needed in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it reduces by half and takes on a light golden hue.
For a festive touch, garnish the drink with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving.
Ensure constant stirring while cooking the mixture to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.

Can I substitute rum with another ingredient?

How long should I refrigerate the punch?
