BALTIMORE EGG NOGG

For a party of fifteen

Take the yellow of sixteen eggs and twelve tablespoonfuls of pulverized loaf sugar, and beat them to the consistency of cream; to this add two-thirds of a nutmeg grated, and beat well together; then mix in half a pint of good brandy or Jamaica rum, and two wineglasses of Madeira wine. Have ready the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth, and beat them into the above described mixture. When this is all done, stir in six pints of good rich milk. There is no heat used. Egg nogg made in this manner is digestible, and will not cause headache. It makes an excellent drink for debili tated persons, and a nourishing diet for consumptives.
