This lightly spiked concoction is Greatfather Winter’s favorite beverage to help wash down all those Gingerbread Cookies.
3 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
6 medium-sized eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 1 /2 teaspoons vanilla
1 /4 cup rum
1 /4 cup brandy
Freshly grated nutmeg
Combine the milk and sugar in a large saucepan. Whisk in the eggs as you heat the mixture over medium heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, whisking all the while, until the mixture has thickened appreciably. Remove from heat and strain into a clean pitcher or bowl. Add the cream, vanilla, rum, and brandy. Chill until ready to serve, a few days at most. Grate a little nutmeg over each glass, and enjoy!
