Tom and Jerry
- 16 oz brandy (such as Germain Robin Shareholders Reserve Alambic Brandy from California) and bourbon or dark rum
- 12 eggs, yolks and whites separated
- 3 tablespoon white sugar
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- 8 cloves
- 10 tiny balls of allspice, finely grated
- 3/4 stick cinnamon, finely grated
- 1/4 nut nutmeg, finely grated
- 1 inch-long husk mace, finely grated
- milk
- In a bowl on ice, beat the egg whites until you have a fully peaked meringue.
- In a separate bowl, beat the yolks until they have a curd-like consistency, and add the spices.
- Fold the yolks and whites together gently, adding the white sugar and brown sugar, until you have a thick, fluffy batter.
- Store this in a metal bowl at room temperature.
- It should maintain a semi-thick, souffle-like consistency.
- To serve, heat up your milk, being careful not to burn it.
- (If you have an espresso machine, you can steam your milk a la minute.)
- Fill a warm cappuccino cup with 1 1/2 ounces of brandy and 1 1/2 ounces of bourbon or rum.
- Steam this using an espresso machine if you have one or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds.
- Add 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar and three tablespoons of your batter mix.
- Fill the cup with hot or steamed milk so the batter floats on top, cappuccino-style.
- Shave a dusting of nutmeg on top.
- Serve with a spoon so your guests can mix at their leisure.
