the top of the double boiler in the refrigerator until
the mixture is completely cooled. Then, add 1/2 tsp. salt
to the egg whites and beat until stiff. Add to the milk
mixture. Beat 1 pint of whipping cream with 1/2 cup sugar
and 1 tsp vanilla until stiff. Add to base mixture and
fold in with wire whisk. Dust with nutmeg to taste. Add a
little "Christmas Cheer" if desired, or maintain the
"Virgin Nog" for the holidays. Best if refrigerated
overnight.
