Basic Egg Nog

Ingredients:
1 dozen eggs, separated (that means separate the yolks from the whites).
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups bourbon (optional, rum works good too)
1/2 cup dark rum
1 quart milk
2 tbs. vanilla extract
1 1/2 quarts whipping cream

Instructions:
Beat together egg yolks and salt in a large mixing bowl, slowly add 1 1/2 cups of sugar beating well after each addition. Mixture should be thick and pale yellow. Stir in bourbon, rum, milk and vanilla; beat well. Beat the egg whites until foamy, add the remaining sugar and continue beating the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Whip the cream until thick and peaks form. Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture, and then fold in the whipped cream. Taste and add more sugar to taste.
