I think I'm going to do the last step on the eggnog I started this afternoon and have some before bed. I expect to sleep well after a glass of this.
Separate the yolks from 2 dozen eggs. Save whites.
Whip yolks with wire whip until blended, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
Add a fifth (1/5 gallon or 750 ml) of brandy, one cup each of Myers’ dark rum, light Baccardi rum, Lairds apple brandy, Dekuypur peach brandy.
Stir gently.
Mix in two pounds of sugar, three and a half quarts of milk and a pint of whipping cream.
Chill for 6 hours or overnight.
Before serving, blend egg whites to a smooth consistency. Gently fold into eggnog and serve with a dash of nutmeg. Stores up to a month.
