I too found a Tom and Jerry set and am determined to use it this Christmas so thank you for the great article and recipe. I have one question/clarification…is the punch bowl used to hold the batter from which you scoop the contents to make individual servings? Thanks!!

My folks & neighbors (who were Midwest transplants to WA state) made this every year. The batter would go in the freezer & we'd have it all month or until it was gone. Us kids would put it in coffee sans the rum. It wasn't until I was an adult that I saw the bowl sets! Now my kids are begging me to whip some up this year, since they're old enough now for the "adult" version!

Just made this and enjoying a warm mug now! Makes a lot, remainder went in the freezer, will be able to enjoy it all winter . . . if it lasts that long.

In reply to julie newby. It gets less frothy the longer the foam sits in the hot milk/water, so it will probably just look milky after a while. Sort of like how whipped cream melts and mixes in with your cocoa after a bit. If you plan on ladling it up in cups all at once I suppose it would work, but then not sure how you'd get the right amount of foam vs alcohol in each cup :) Normally when I have a party, as soon as the guests start arriving I will put the big bowl of batter out. Then set up the cups, alcohol and hot milk (a vintage silver coffee or tea pot would be great to go with your silver punch bowl) and then have the guests serve themselves. You can make a cute sign for beside the bowl telling people how to mix it or just make a little announcement on how to do it. And in a party situation like that I don't bother with heating up the cups with the hot water, because that will just keep you running back and forth to the kitchen way too much. It's a nice touch, but not absolutely necessary.

Brings back memories! Grandpa would make these every winter and had such a cool T&J set . He'd make us virgin versions. I loved the crispy crust that would form on the top of the batter. Interesting that he would only use buttermilk but I haven't found any recipe online that uses buttermilk. I'll have to see if my mom has his recipe somewhere!

In reply to Leslie. I wonder if it has to do with the humidity in Florida. I know here in Ohio, I cannot whip eggs up into good stiff peaks if it's raining or snowing outside, so I would imagine it's the same concept with humidity down there.

I’ve made this for years however now living in Florida and have major separation of foam and eggs in containers . Syrupy sweet liquid settles to bottom! I’ve tried everything possible. Is it the water content in the eggs?
