Uncle Angelo’s Eggnog
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 0.8 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces bourbon
- 4 ounces spiced rum
- 1 quart whole milk
- 1 pint heavy cream
- nutmeg
Method
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and half a cup of sugar until the mixture turns light in color. Stir in the bourbon, rum, milk and heavy cream. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining quarter-cup of sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold about one-third of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, reserving the remaining amount. Divide between 12 punch or tea cups. Fold more of the egg-white mixture into each cup, if desired. Top each cup with freshly grated nutmeg.
