| | | Re: what to do with unwanted presents Hi,
Burp,
Try this one :-
1xcan condensed milk
1xcan evaporated milk
1xbottle cheap white wine [75cls I think they are]
approx. to taste, 1/4 bottle of brandy or scotch
whisk or mixer it together & consume.
Shake the bottle before each serving, tastes similar to Irish cream, dependent on the wine.  , You end up with nearly two litres of very more-ish.
Xam.
