1. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and add the 1/3 cup of sugar. Beat the egg whites and sugar with a wire whisk or an electric or rotary beater until they thicken somewhat and foam.
|
2. In another large bowl, beat the egg yolks until they thicken enough to drop backin the form of a ribbon when the beater is lifted out of the bowl.
|
3. Pour the foamy egg whites and sugar into the beaten egg yolks and beat themtogether until they are thoroughly combined.
|
4. Place the cold heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the punch bowl and beat until the cream doubles in volume and is thick enough to hold its shape softly.
|
5. Now, beating constantly, slowly pour the egg mixture into the punch bowl with the whipped cream.
|
6. When thoroughly combined, slowly add the whiskey and rum and then the cold milk,beating all the while.
|
7. By this time, the eggnog will have thickened somewhat; it will thicken even more as it chills.
|
8. Sprinkle the top of the eggnog with grated lemon and orange peel and theground nutmeg and chill for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
