بَاتَ stayed overnight

A past-tense verb meaning 'spent the night / stayed overnight', with its subject (the 'it' of the milk) carried inside. It completes the relative clause begun by 'that which', telling you what those portions did. Verbs like this describe being in a state through the night, so it frames the milk as having rested overnight.
