Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes and then add the vanilla paste, stirring again to combine.

Once cool, bottle and store the syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Drink build
Steep the tea and hot water for 5 minutes before straining out the leaves.
Combine the tea, puree, syrup, sudachi, and bitters together.
In a separate carafe, add the milk.
Pour the tea mixture into the milk and stir gently until curds form. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Pour the mixture into a coffee filter to separate the curds.
Pour the filtered liquid over the curds again for a second and finer filtration.
Fully chill the clear filtered drink in the fridge before serving in a chilled coupe glass.
