Ingredients
Instructions

- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cup.
- Add a shot of brandy to each cup.

Tips & Substitutions
When separating eggs, ensure no yolk gets into the whites to achieve maximum stiffness. If you prefer a different flavor, try using vanilla extract instead of rum extract. For a less sweet version, reduce the powdered sugar gradually until you find your desired taste. Always taste the mixture before serving to adjust sweetness or flavor as needed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful drink in warm mugs and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor and aroma. It pairs beautifully with a slice of Coconut Bread Cubes or a warm muffin for a cozy treat. This drink is perfect for gatherings or holiday celebrations.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To enjoy later, reheat by adding boiling water and stirring until warm. Avoid microwaving, as it may alter the texture of the eggs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use egg substitutes in this recipe?
Yes, you can use egg substitutes like aquafaba (chickpea brine) for the egg whites and a commercial egg replacer for the yolks. However, the texture and flavor may differ slightly. Experiment to find the right balance for your taste.
What can I use instead of brandy?
If you prefer not to use brandy, you can substitute with whiskey, rum, or even a non-alcoholic apple cider for a warm, festive flavor. Just adjust the quantity to your preference.
