Real Egg Nog

• 6 Eggs, separated - yolks in one bowl, whites in another
• 1/2 lb Confectionars' Sugar
• 2 Cups Dark Rum, Brandy, or Whiskey
• 1 quart Whipping Cream, Milk, or 1/2 and 1/2
• to taste Nutmeg

Instructions:
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, confectionars' sugar, and 1 cup of the dark rum, brandy or whiskey; mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
After 1 hour place the egg mixture in a punch bowl or serving container.
Add the quart of whipping cream, milk or 1/2 and 1/2 to the egg mixture.
Note: You should add the rum to the taste you like. Add additional 1/2 cup to 1 cup of the dark rum, brandy or whiskey.
Cover again refrigerate for 3 hours.
Enjoy in a chilled mug with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Optionally: If you would like a non-alcohol version just omit the alcohol and the mix the egg, confectioners' sugar and a little milk together...then add all the milk and refrigerate.
If you like you can also whip the egg whites and fold them in (traditional) or fold in a little whipped whipping cream.
Note: this recipe doubles nicely.
