Brad's Killer Eggnog

I have made this eggnog recipe for the Christmas holiday for over 25 years. Enjoy!

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

Steps

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.n
2. Beat egg yolks and remaining 1 cup sugar in a separate bowl until frothy and lightened in color.n
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.n
4. Top eggnog with nutmeg; serve with ice.n
