|
1. Combine the milk and butter in a saucepan and place over low heat until the butter is melted and the milk is hot.
|
2. Meanwhile, separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in a small bowl and beatthem with a wire whisk or a rotary or electric beater until they are frothy.
|
3. In another bowl, beat the yolks until they thicken slightly and are well combined.
|
4. Pour the egg whites into the bowl with the yolks and beat in the sugar and vanilla. Remove the milk from the heat and pour the eggs into the pan, whisking constantly.
|
5. Return the pan to the heat, add the brandy and rum, and continue to whisk while the ingredients warm. Do not let them boil or the drink will curdle.
|
6. Pour about half of the contents of the pan into a mug, then pour back and forth from one mug to another to make sure the drink is well combined and froths.
|
|
7. Continue pouring back and forth with the other 2 mugs until a second mug has been filled. Sprinkle the top of each drink with ground nutmeg and serve hot.
