The Spec

  • 30 ml Cognac
  • 15 ml Aged rum
  • 2 tbsp Tom & Jerry batter
  • top, ~120 ml Hot milk
  • garnish Freshly grated nutmeg

Method

Pre-warm a Tom & Jerry mug (or toddy mug) with hot water and discard. Add 2 tbsp Tom & Jerry batter, then the cognac and aged rum. Top with hot milk (optionally part hot water), stirring gently so a creamy, foamy head forms. Dust with grated nutmeg. Batter: beat egg yolks until thin, beat in the sugar, a splash of rum and the spices; separately beat egg whites to a stiff froth and fold into the yolk mixture.

Served in a mug. Garnish: freshly grated nutmeg.
