Ingredients:

¾ cup sugar

4 egg yolks

1 qt ½ and ½

1 t Allspice (whole)

1 t Fresh grated nutmeg

1 stick Cinnamon

1 cup Dark Rum or Bourbon

 

Toast spices in a 4 qt pot over medium heat. Carefully add liquor, especially if you are using a gas stovetop. Then add ½ and ½. Steep for 10-15 minutes. Whisk together sugar and yolks until pale yellow. Slowly add ½ and ½ mixture to yolks. If you want more booze, add before serving. Top with freshly grated nutmeg.

When I tried this recipe, I found it to be way more flavorful than any store bought mixture I have enhanced. And it was exceptionally easy.
