Crema de vie - Cream of life
David Taylor
You can use whatever brand of rum you like white or dark. I think a spiced rum adds a nice touch.

Ingredients
1
can condensed milk
1
can evaporated milk
6
egg yolks
2
cups
sugar
1
cup
water
1
tsp
vanilla
Rum - regular or spiced
at least half a cup - any less isn't worth it!
Instructions
Syrup
Heat water and sugar in a pot until the sugar has dissolved and the water is clear.
Egg Nog
In a blender, mix the two cans of milk, egg yolks and vanilla until thoroughly mixed.
When the syrup is ready, pour the egg mix into the pot and stir continuously over med-low heat.
After a minute, pour in the rum - as much as you want - the more the better, and remove from heat.
When the nog has cooled down, transfer to an empty bottle and refrigerate several hours or overnight.
I always sprinkle just a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg into mine for an extra flavor kick.
