Stir the mixture and cover it to steep for 15 to 20 minutes.

Strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove solids.

Filter the liquid through a coffee filter to clarify it further.

Chill the strained liquid quickly in a cold water bath.

Add lactose to the mixture, stirring until dissolved.
