1 cup milk
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 or 2 tablespoons rum or brandy, to taste

In a saucepan, combine milk with half and half. Heat until tiny bubbles form around the edges of pan. Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Beat the eggs until light and foamy; stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg and 1 or 2 tablespoons of rum or brandy.

Stir in the cooled milk and half and half, then chill and freeze.

Cooks Note: Although the alcohol helps kill bacteria and cook the eggs, if you are still concerned about using raw eggs, the eggs may be pasteurized before using to ensure safety.
