Home-Made Eggnog

I just made some eggnog to console myself for my
cold, and it came out quite well. I looked at
BellaOnline's recipe for guidance: (don't bother
reading the whole recipe unless you really, really
want to)

12 eggs separated
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups bourbon
1/2 cup brandy
6 cups milk
ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream

beat egg yolks with sugar at low speed
in a large bowl until mixed. Beat at
high speed until lemon coloured, about
15 minutes.

Add alcohol, one tablespoon at a time.
Cover and chill.

In the meantime, chill a 5-6 quart punch
bowl. About twenty minutes before you
will be serving your egg nog, stir the yolk
mixture, milk, and 1 1/4 tsp. nutmeg in
the bowl.

In another large bowl beat egg whites at
high speed until soft peaks form.

In a smaller bowl (you can use the same
beaters), beat cream at medium speed until
stiff peaks form.

Using a whisk, gently fold egg whites,
cream, and yolk mixture just until blended.
Serve cold (no ice).
