This classic brandy punch is delicate, yet aromatic and boozy. If you like eggnog but wish it were lighter, try this black tea milk punch. We swapped armagnac for brandy and infused it with our blend of strong black tea with white chocolate and prune. The oaky depth of armagnac in this frothy punch makes for heavenly alchemy. If you prefer to drink your dessert, this cocktail is for you.
