Michael’s Tom & Jerry’s
8 eggs--separated
¾ cup sugar (powdered or fine will work)
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground clove
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 cups eggnog
5-6 cups hot water
5-6 cups warm milk
Fine Brandy
Fine Dark Rum
Separate eggs. Add first 5 ingredients to yolks and mix well. Set aside. Beat whites to stiff peaks. Fold yolk mixture into whites and adjust sugar to your desired sweetness for the “batter”. Use pre-warmed mugs if possible—add ½ to 1 shot of each (Brandy and Dark rum). Add ¼ cup hot water, ¼ cup warm milk and generous splash of eggnog to each cup. Top with generous dollop of batter –gently stir in with 1 or 2 stirs –add a bit more batter and serve hot. Extra nutmeg or chocolate can be finely grated on top if desired.
The Eggnog is not a traditional component of the recipe and can easily be omitted—but it lends a great richness to the cocktail.
Enjoy! ....hiccup
