Ingredients:
One can condensed milk
One can rum
one can simple sugar syrup (**)
(**)using the empty condensed milk can, mix:
Two cans white sugar
one can water
lemon rind
cinnamon stick
Boil until it becomes a syrup. Let cool and discard cinnamon stick and lemon rinds.
Mix all ingredients in a bottle along with two egg yolks (whipped) and two or three large sticks of cinnamon.
Refrigerate for two or three days and it is ready to drink.
WARNING: It is SWEET and it can be habit forming (you just can't put it down). Serve in shot glasses and sip. It is good anytime.
SAFE EGG YOLKS:
Heat 2 egg yolks and 1/4 cup of liquid from the recipe, add 1/2 tsp sugar in a small skillet over very low heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan constantly with a spatula. At the first sign of thickening, remove the pan from the heat, but continue stirring and dip the pan bottom in a larger pan of cold water to stop the cooking. Use in the recipe instead of raw yolks.
Destroying bacteria is a matter of both time and temperature. You do not even have to get the yolks to the salmonella instant-kill temperature of 160oF (71oC). Holding them at slightly lower temperatures for several minutes is just as effective. Yolks are pasteurized by holding them for 3.5 minutes at 140oF (60oC), which is not very hot- hot tap water is in this range. Eggs don't scramble (cook) until about 180oF (82oC). So there is some margin here.
PS- It is well worth the effort to go through the pasteurization of the eggs. The Crema de Vie is very good!
