Charles Mingus’s Egg Nog
\n* Separate one egg for one person. Each person gets an egg.
\n* Two sugars for each egg, each person.
\n* One shot of rum, one shot of brandy per person.
\n* Put all the yolks into one big pan, with some milk.
\n* That\u2019s where the 151 proof rum goes. Put it in gradually or it\u2019ll burn the eggs,
\n* OK. The whites are separate and the cream is separate.
\n* In another pot- depending on how many people- put in one shot of each, rum and brandy. (This is after you whip your whites and your cream.)
\n* Pour it over the top of the milk and yolks.
\n* One teaspoon of sugar. Brandy and rum.
\n* Actually you mix it all together.
\n* Yes, a lot of nutmeg. Fresh nutmeg. And stir it up.
\n* You don\u2019t need ice cream unless you\u2019ve got people coming and you need to keep it cold. Vanilla ice cream. You can use eggnog. I use vanilla ice cream.
\n* Right, taste for flavor. Bourbon? I use Jamaica Rum in there. Jamaican Rums. Or I\u2019ll put rye in it. Scotch. It depends.
\nSee, it depends on how drunk I get while I\u2019m tasting it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
