Prepare it by inviting a company of your closest friends, and spend the evening in a cozy circle of intimate conversations, watching a fascinating movie or browsing through good old photo albums.
So, so that your company has a chance to feast on a spicy egg leg, stock up on such components:
- 5 chicken yolks (choose large eggs);
- 200 ml of skim milk (at least 3.5%);
- 70 g of honey (it is best to take a liquid flower);
- 50 g of brown sugar;
- zest of half a large orange;
- 100 ml of dark rum;
- 75 ml of amaretto type liquor;
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or a bag of vanillin;
- nutmeg to taste;
- whipped cream for serving.
First of all, we need to beat the sugar and yolks in a mixer. Choose a slow speed and wait for the sugar crystals to dissolve in the yolks. You should have a creamy and viscous mass of light-light yellow color.
When you achieve the need for consistency, you need to add honey and vanilla extract to the mass and punch again in the mixer until smooth.
Nutmeg will give the drink a festive note
Pour the milk into a high-side saucepan or into a thick-bottomed pan. Heat the milk with orange zest to 40 degrees Celsius (a food thermometer is very useful here). You need to mix half the warmed milk with a mixture of sugar, yolks and honey, and add the second half after you mix the yolks and milk well.
Constantly stirring the milk-egg mixture with a whisk, bring the contents of the stewpan to a temperature of 85 degrees Celsius (in no case bring to a boil - otherwise the yolk will curl).

While the stewpan is on ice, constantly stir it with a whisk. The drink should cool to at least 40 degrees. When this happens, add an egg leg with rum and liquor. Continue whisking the mixture with a whisk until it cools completely.
