American Christmas punch

Serves about 20. This version of American eggnog is very potent, even if you halve the rum! Alternatively, you can use brandy or bourbon; I like it best with rum. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar, add the milk and rum, and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. I usually add a pinch of nutmeg at this point. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 3 hours. Whip the cream and fold it into the mixture, then chill for another hour. Serve best in mugs with a pinch of grated nutmeg on top.
