β Frequently Asked Questions About Tom and Jerry Batter
1. Can I make this batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the batter up to 3 days in advance. Store it in a covered container in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before using.
2. What is the best liquor to use?
Traditional Tom and Jerry drinks use rum or brandy. You can use either one or a combination of both. Dark rum works well, and so does cognac or a good quality brandy.
3. Can I use a different milk or milk alternative?
Yes, you can use whole milk, 2% milk, or even a non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk. The drink will be thinner with non-dairy options, but still tasty.
4. How do I serve the Tom and Jerry drink?
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the batter into a mug. Add 1 ounce of rum or brandy, then fill the mug with hot milk or water. Stir until the batter is dissolved and the drink is frothy. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg if desired.
5. Is this recipe safe for children?
If you omit the alcohol, it is safe for children. The batter itself contains raw eggs, so it is best to use pasteurized eggs or serve it to healthy individuals. The hot milk or water will partially cook the egg, but it is not fully cooked.
