- 1 ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ oz rum
- Hot milk
- Hot water
- Rum
- Brandy
- Nutmeg - freshly grated if possible
Instructions
For The Batter:
- Beat eggs thoroughly using a KitchenAid or hand mixer. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and mix. Scrape sides of bowl and add another ½ cup powdered sugar and mix.
- Add baking soda and ½ oz. rum to the batter and mix.
- Add another ¾ cup of powdered sugar and beat until stiff.
- Place in fridge until needed.
For The Drink:
- Heat glasses with hot water.
- Once heated, discard hot water and add a healthy Tbsp. of the batter along with 3 Tbsp. hot milk. Dissolve batter in milk.
- Add 1 oz. rum and stir.
- Add more hot milk, leaving room on top.
- Top drink off with ½ oz. brandy.
- Grate or sprinkle nutmeg on the top of the drink.
If Cooking The Egg Base First:
- *If you are concerned about raw egg safety, use pasteurized eggs and/or cook the batter first.Combine eggs and the milk as indicated in the recipe. (Other ingredients, such as sugar may be added at this step.)
- Cook the mixture gently to an internal temperature of 160 °F, stirring constantly. The cooking will destroy Salmonella, if present. At this temperature, the mixture will firmly coat a metal spoon (but please don’t lick the spoon if the custard is not fully cooked!).
- After cooking, allow the mixture to come to room temperature, and chill the mixture before adding the rest of the milk and other ingredients.
Notes
This should make enough batter for 10-15 drinks. Use more or less batter depending on your desired sweetness level.
*This drink contains raw eggs. With eggs and all other raw foods from animals, there is a small possibility of Salmonella food poisoning. The risk is greater for those who are pregnant, elderly or very young and those with medical problems which have impaired their immune systems. These individuals should avoid raw and under cooked animal foods. Consult this guide from Foodsafety.gov for a complete guide to holiday drinks containing raw eggs.
