Auld Man's Milk

• 6 eggs (whites & yolks beaten separately)

• 1 quart thin cream (half-and-half); or milk

• 1/2 C sugar

• 1/2 pint rum

• 1/2 pint whisky (or brandy)

• Nutmeg to taste

• Lemon zest to taste

In two bowls, beat egg whites and yolks separately. Mix the sugar and cream with the egg yolks. Then add the rum and whisky (or brandy); mix well. Pour in beaten egg whites; stir the entire mixture gently. Flavor with the nutmeg and lemon zest, stirring slightly again. Place in a pitcher to refrigerate, or place into a punch bowl if ready to serve.

 

Note: Auld Man's Milk is similar to spiked egg nog in America.
