Ingredients

  • 12 eggs, separated

  • 2 cups white sugar, divided

  • 1 quart rum

  • 1 quart half-and-half

  • 1 quart milk

  • 1 pinch nutmeg

  • ice cubes

Directions

  1. Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Add 1 cup sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.

  2. Beat egg yolks and remaining 1 cup sugar in a separate bowl until frothy and lightened in color.

  3. Fold egg whites into egg yolk mixture gently; pour into a large punch bowl or pitcher. Stir in rum, half-and-half, and milk.

  4. Top eggnog with nutmeg; serve with ice.

Cook's Note:

Substitute heavy whipping cream for the half-and-half, if desired.
