Steps:

• Heat milk just until small bubbles form without boiling. Beat egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy. Add salt and hot milk and mix well. Place over low heat or hot water and cook, while stirring, until mixture thickens (excess heat and long cooking will cause it to curdle).
• Beat egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the 1/4 cup sugar. Fold whites into hot milk mixture. Stir in bourbon or rum. Serve hot with a dash of nutmeg.
