This elaborate, obsessive rumination of phlegmnog almost makes it sound appetizing:
I love you all, and I am here to help. Here is the recipe by which I was shown
the true nature of eggnog:
- Separate the whites & yolks of six eggs.
- Beat whites stiff and add a quarter pound of powdered sugar.
- Beat yolks until thick and add another quarter pound of powdered sugar, 3 drops
oil of cinnamon, and 2 drops oil of clove. (Respect these amounts! Do not
underestimate the power of these oils!)- Fold together whites & yolks. This is your batter.
- Right in the mug, combine about 1 part of batter with 2 parts hot milk.
- An appropriate quantity of booze (traditionally 1 part rum to 2 parts brandy) may
also be added.
