Make your own Tom and Jerry by bringing the classic to a holiday party. The premade batter is made with eggs, butter, sugar along with spices of choice for an incredible drink that's also perfect during unexpected guests who stop in unannounced.
Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Whisk until a whipped cream consistency is achieved.
In the bowl with egg yolks, add the unsalted butter and sugar. Whip the ingredients together until combined.
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture to the egg white mixture.
Stir in the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and rum. Cover and store the batter in the refrigerator until it's time to make the drink.
For the drink:
Preheat the mugs to be used.
Add 1 to 2 tbsp of the batter together with 1 oz. of cognac and rum.
Fill the mug with hot milk, water, or both. Stir constantly until foamy.
Garnish with nutmeg and serve hot!
Recipe Note
You can use a mix of spices and flavorings to spice up your cup of Tom and Jerry. Ground cloves, cinnamon or nutmeg are perfect for adding that special something!
