In a medium sauce pan heat milk and cream until just steaming

Strain custard into a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap
Add apple wood chips to the burn chamber of the Breville Smoking Gun. Place hose under the plastic wrap with the opening sitting above the custard. Seal with plastic wrap
Turn smoking gun on to HIGH SPEED and ignite wood chips. Switch to LOW SPEED and smoke for a few seconds until the bowl is filled with a dense smoke. Remove hose and reseal plastic wrap.
