Ga-Ga's Eggnog

- 1 cup brandy
- 1 quart half and half

Instructions

- Add two cups of dark rum and the brandy. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar.
- Place mixture in fridge overnight, covered, and allow liquor & eggs to become acquainted.
- The next day, strain the eggnog into a punch bowl.
- Whisk in the half and half.
- Whip the reserved egg whites until stiff, and fold into the mixture (use punch ladle to gently dunk the whites under the surface until combined).
- Whip a cream until stiff, fold into mixture using same process.
- Top with nutmeg and put back in fridge until time to serve.
- Once you serve it, the cream/whites may need another minor dunking if any rises to the surface.
