Baltimore Egg Nogg.

(for a party of ten.)

  • Take ½ pint of brandy (or Jamaica Rum).
  • Take 2 wine-glasses of Madeira wine.
  • Take 6 pints rich milk.
  • Take 10 eggs.
  • Take 10 tea-spoonfuls powdered sugar.
  • Take ⅔ nutmeg, grated.

Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar together to a cream; add the nutmeg, well mixed in; then add the brandy (or rum) and the wine. Have the whites of the eggs ready beaten to a stiff froth, and beat them into the mixture; then stir in the milk gradually beating up the mixture all the while.
