A lovely creamy drink similar to egg-nog. Rum flavors this wonderful holiday drink.

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup blanched almonds
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup premium rum

Preparation:

Simmer milk and sugar until mixture is hot, but not burning. Process the almonds in a food processer until a paste forms. Whisk the paste into the milk mixture and let it cool.

Beat the egg yolks until creamy, and slowly add in the milk mixture a little at a time, continually mixing slowly. Mix in the rum and serve chilled.
