Directions
Combine sugar, egg whites, water and cream of tartar in a large not-aluminum metal bowl; whisk to blend. Set bowl over a pan of simmering water, taking care that the bowl does not touch the water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium about 10 minutes, until mixture registers 140 degress on a candy thermometer and is very thick and fluffy. Continue to beat 3 more minutes; remove from heat and beat until mixture has cooled slightly.
Pour milk and vanilla into another large bowl. Add egg white mixture and brandy or rum; combine gently with a whisk. Serve well-chilled and dusted with nutmeg. (Nog will separate when standing, but is easily recombined by whisking.)
