For one gallon of eggnog, 16 eggs, 4¾ pts. brandy, 1¼ pts. Creme de Violette, 1¼ pts. Jamaica rum, 3⅝ pts. cream, 3⅝ pts. boiled milk, sugar to taste, nutmeg grated. Use the _very best materials_. The mixture should be stirred very vigorously during the pouring of the liquor and for 5 minutes after, to avoid curdling.
