**Eierpunsch 2**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 cup rum (optional)
– Whipped cream, for garnish
– Ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
2. In a saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Do not let it come to a boil.
3. Slowly pour the warm milk and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
4. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the rum if desired, stirring well to incorporate.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any cooked egg bits and achieve a smooth consistency.
7. Let the Eierpunsch cool slightly before pouring it into mugs or glasses. Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive touch.
8. Serve the Eierpunsch warm and enjoy its comforting flavors with friends and family. It’s the perfect drink to spread holiday cheer and create lasting memories by the fireside.
