Beat whites stiff; beat in about 1/2 cup sugar.
Beat yolks until very light with about 1 cup sugar and the salt.
Combine and stir until thoroughly blended. Add cream, then milk, then
Bourbon. Beat well. Add rum. Store in a cold cellar for a week.
Serve with freshly-grated nutmeg. The egg nog should be ladled from
the bottom of the bowl, and never stirred, in order to maintain its
layered quality.
NOTES:
* Traditional layered eggnog with bourbon and dark rum -- This is
the egg nog that was served at the Hopkins Neolithic Xmas Party, a
party that some friends used to have every year. We now serve it for
our Winter Solstice celebration. It's purported to come from the
original "Fanny Farmer Cookbook." Yield: Serves 15-20, inebriates 6.
* An alternate method, preferred by some, is to make a creamy,
non-layered egg nog by stirring gently every day.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 5-10 minutes preparation; 1 week aging.
: Precision: Approximate measurement OK.
