Ingredients
- 2 quarts whole milk plus 2 tablespoons, divided
- 12 lightly crushed sweet almonds
- ¼ teaspoon pure almond extract
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1¼ cups demerara sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 2 cups brandy

Directions
- In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine 2 quarts of milk with the almonds, almond extract, zest and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, between 200° and 212°, stirring regularly, and cook for about 5 minutes. Strain the milk, discarding the solids. Keep the liquid warm.
- Whisk the egg whites with the remaining 2 tablespoons of milk (chilled, if possible) and stir them into the warm milk mixture. While stirring, add the brandy and rum. Beat the mixture vigorously until it has a light froth on top. Pour into a punch bowl and serve immediately.
