compilation of the good and problem features of the Proa form with
quality incite into why and how with a historical perspective. A must
read!

Beat well. Add: 1 cup of rum.
Pour into a gallon jug ( put the extra into a qt jar). Store in a cool
cellar (or the bilge). Shake or stir thoroughly before serving. Ladle
from a big punch bowl into small cups and sprinkle with Nutmeg.
The recipe says serves 30 but several of us put a big dent in this

just try that also. Make your own adjustments for metric.

Peter:
Here is my grandmother's recipe -- always got raves at my mother's
Christmas open house:
8 eggs, separated
1 pint whipping cream
1 pint 1/2 & 1/2
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c whiskey
vanilla to taste
as much whole milk as needed to make the volume of total product as you
need (about 3 quarts to 1 gallon works well)
Beat egg yolks 'til fluffy. Add whiskey and keep beating. [Note: THIS
IS CRUCIAL-- add whiskey directly to egg yolks before adding any other
ingredients. The whiskey "cooks" the eggs (according to my grandmother).
If you add more ingredients before the whiskey has a chance to do its
chemical reaction thing to the eggs then you wind up with that yukky raw
egg taste.] Add sugar and beat well. Add 1/2 & 1/2 and whipping cream
(coffee cream and heavy cream, respectively, for those outside the US).
Add milk and a tad of vanilla (optional).
Beat the egg whites until stiff. (You can add a bit of powdered sugar
and vanilla extract if you want to, but it is not necessary.) Put egg
whites into serving bowl, pour in egg and milk mixture, genlty stirring
egg whites into the egg & milk. Put the whiskey bottle and dish of
powdered nutmeg by the serving bowl so guests can add as much of each as
they desire.
If it's just you, this should last for a couple of weeks.
