How to Make Moose Milk

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves until pale and thick.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, rum, and vanilla extract.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a punch bowl to remove any lumps or egg bits.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial!
  8. Before serving, add extra ground nutmeg to taste. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon.
  9. Enjoy responsibly!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
