Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whisky
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 egg whites *optional
- Pinch cinnamon and nutmeg
Instructions
- Heat the milk with the cinnamon and cloves until it starts to simmer.
- Mix the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla well in a bowl. Do this in a heatproof bowl because this is where you pour the hot milk.
- Pour in the hot milk and keep stirring so the yolks won't curdle.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the pan and heat over low heat until it thickens.
- Once it starts to thicken, turn off the heat and pour it through a sieve into a pitcher.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let the drink cool completely.
- Serve with whipped cream and sprinkle some more cinnamon on top.
