Tom And Jerry

• 12 fresh eggs, separated
• 3 pounds granulated white sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 ounces anejo rum
• 2 tablespoons of batter
• 1 1/2 ounces brandy
• 1/2 ounce anejo rum
• 3 or 4 ounces boiling water
• Freshly grated nutmeg, for dusting

1. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until they are thin as water, adding the sugar while beating. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the spices and rum to the yolks. Mix in the stiff whites and stir until the mixture is the consistency of a light batter. (1 teaspoon of cream of tartar or 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda will prevent the sugar from settling to the bottom of the batter.)
2. Put the batter in the bottom of a ceramic mug, add the spirits and the boiling water and stir. Dust with nutmeg and serve.
