Author Eva Kosmas Flores

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs separated
  • 2 ounces granulated sugar
  • 2 ounces light brown sugar
  • 16 ounces whole milk
  • 8 ounces heavy cream
  • 4 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces cointreau or grand marinier
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg plus more for garnish
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Beat the yolks, granulated sugar, and brown sugar at high speed with a whisk attachment until the mixture is very pale and fluffy and thick and a steady ribbon of the mixture flows down from the whisk when it’s lifted from the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. Empty the egg yolk mixture into a blender, and add the milk, cream, tequila, cointreau, nutmeg, and lemon zest. Cover and blend at medium speed for 30 seconds. Stir in any froth on top of the mixture and empty into serving vessel. Garnish with a few pinches of nutmeg and lemon zest. Can be served immediately or chilled. Will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
