Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Tom And Jerry Drink
  1. Begin by separating the egg yolks and egg whites into two separate bowls. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with granulated sugar and softened butter until thick and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and rum, mixing until combined.
  3. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture until smooth, then refrigerate the batter until ready to use, ideally within a few hours.
  4. In a medium saucepan, heat your favorite milk over medium-low heat, avoiding boiling—just warm it until steaming, about 5 minutes.
  5. For each pre-warmed mug, add a heaping tablespoon of the prepared Tom And Jerry batter along with 1 ounce of rum. Pour in about 4 ounces of the warmed milk, making sure to mix thoroughly.
  6. Finish off your Classic Tom And Jerry Drink by lightly sprinkling freshly ground nutmeg on top for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately while still hot.

Notes

For the best flavor, combine the batter with hot milk just before serving. This ensures that the warmth and creaminess of the Tom And Jerry drink are preserved.
