freshly grated nutmeg

In a large mixer bowl beat egg whites til soft peaks form ( tips curl )
Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar beating til stiff peaks form ( tips stand straight )
Set Aside

In a small mixer bowl beat egg yolks till thick and lemon colored

Spicy Christmas Coffee

I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but my wonderful Husband is,
and he says " This is great Coffee" so I'll take his word for it,
you try it, and let me know what you think!

* Warning * you need to start this coffee a month before Christmas to let the flavours blend!!

Buy a bag of coffee, something not too strong. You can either grind beans or buy already ground. ( Most coffee shops will grind it for you, so why not take advantage of the freshest coffee?)

ok... so take a pound of coffee and put it in an airtight container.

add about 18 ( 1 package ) cinnamon sticks, broken up but not crushed.

add a tablespoon of cloves

add about 4 - 5 vanilla beans, sliced down the side and cut into 1 inch pieces

add a few slices of dried Mandarin orange peals

Put everything in container, shake it up and store in the fridge. Shake it up every now and then, serve at Christmas time, ( maybe with your favorite Bailey's?)

It takes about 3 weeks.
