punch bowl; Beat the whites of six eggs to a
stiff froth, and the yolks until they are as thin
as water; then mix together, with a quarter of
a wineglass of Jamaica rum, two pounds of
icing sugar, and a teaspoonful of mixed spict
(nutmeg and cinnamon), until the mixture
attains the consistency of a light batter. Put
a tablespoonful of this mixture into a small
tumbler with a wineglass of brandy, and nearly
fill with boiling water; serve with a little grated
nutmeg on top.
Instead of brandy, a wineglassful may be
used of the following mixture, which has been
previously prepared and stored in a bottle:
One pint of brandy, half a pint of Jamaica
rum, and half a pint of Santa Cruz or white
rum; and instead of serving in a smali
tumbler, an earthenware cup will be found an
improvement.
N.B.—In mixing the batter, a teaspoonful of
cream of tartar or a little carbonate of soda
will prevent the sugar from settling to the
bottom of the mixture. For cold Tom and
Jerry use cold water or cold milk.
