For an extra layer of flavor, consider using aged rum or a blend of rums. Freshly grated nutmeg is highly recommended for its superior aroma and taste. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference, but remember to drink responsibly. The 'curing' process is essential for the smooth texture and well-rounded flavor of the eggnog. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with an equal amount of apple cider or milk, and add a teaspoon of rum extract for flavor.

StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 2 cups of sugar, rum, and nutmeg until well combined. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mixture to 'cure'. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of sugar and continue beating until firm, glossy peaks form. (10 minutes)
