Steps
- 1Makes 2 drinks. The batter is not cooked, so use pasteurised eggs. Warm two mugs with hot water. Separate the egg; beat the yolk with the sugar and spices until pale and thin.
- 2Whisk the white to a stiff froth and fold it into the yolk to make the batter.
- 3Divide the cognac and rum between the mugs and add about two tablespoons of batter to each.
- 4Top with boiling water, pouring slowly while stirring, and grate nutmeg over the foam.
