Notes

This recipe contains raw eggs. Choose your eggs wisely, wash them well before cracking, and crack on a flat surface like a counter for food safety. Fine sugar helps dissolve evenly into the drink. Fresh nutmeg is essential - don't skip it! Can skip alcohol if needed, but flavor will be different.
