BRANDY INFUSION (Makes approx. 750 ml)

100g MannaBrew powder
2 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 star anise
750ml brandy

COCKTAIL

• 60 ml MannaBrew Brandy Infusion (prepared above)
• 30 ml sugar syrup, cooled
• 30 ml full cream
• 20 g mascarpone
• 5 ml vanilla extract
• 1 large egg yolk
• Ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Brandy Infusion: Combine the MannaBrew powder, cloves, cinnamon stick, and star anise in a pan. Toast over medium heat until the spices become aromatic and start to smoke lightly.

2. In a saucepan, bring the brandy to a boil. As soon as it boils, remove it from the heat and carefully pour it into a large jar.

3. Add the toasted MannaBrew and spice mixture to the brandy, then set aside to infuse at room temperature for 2 hours. Strain through a fine sieve.

4. Cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in 60 ml of the strained MannaBrew Brandy Infusion, the sugar syrup, egg yolk, mascarpone, full cream, and vanilla extract.

5. Shake vigorously until smooth and well chilled.

6. Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass and dust lightly with cocoa powder before serving.
   

TIP: For a richer, caramel note, replace the sugar syrup with golden syrup or maple syrup.
