Spicy egg nog sets the tone when handed to guests on their arrival. It's usually served to toast one';s health; and that's what we all need for the coming year.

3 large Eggs
187 g Sugar
132 ml Brandy (Klipdrift)

3) Add brandy, rum and milk and half the cream to the above mixture slowly

4) Set aside until service

5) On service whisk egg whites until firm and fold into egg nog mixture
