Some ground nutmeg
Cinnamon to taste
Bourbon or dark rum (1 cup)

Yes, this has raw eggs. Please be aware raw eggs get a bad wrap because they might contain salmonella. Salmonella is usually on the shell of the egg, so it’s always a good idea to wash the eggs off before cracking to be on the safe side. If the eggs you put into this recipe smell funny, don’t use them. Raw eggs shouldn’t be a problem for most healthy people. If you avoid dairy, you might try using coconut milk and coconut cream instead.
