Clarified Margarita Cordial

1. Add all ingredients, except whole milk, in a container.
2. Mix the solution thoroughly with a spoon.
3. Set aside.
4. Add whole milk in a separate container, let it reach room temperature.
5. Pour the lime and syrup solution into the milk slowly so it curdles over time for a better filtration.
6. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes, though 8 to 24 hours overnight is highly suggested for better separation.
7. Prepare a container with a pre-wet coffee filter.
8. Pour the mixture into the filter. It will run cloudy at first; let it run until it begins to drip clear.
9. Once it drips clear, switch out the bottom container and pour the initial cloudy solution back into the filter.
10. Let the solution drip undisturbed for a few hours until fully clarified.
11. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 weeks.
