Try the sack posset recipe, I recommend it.  I've done it, the redaction was
quite straight forward and it came out quite well.  It was like a very thick
cooked eggnog.  I don't know what page it is on, I've mislaid my copy, but
it calls for 14 egg yolks and 7 egg whites.  I've done it with both sherry
and brandy by the way.  The only thing you have to do is be careful to stir
it as it sets and not burn it.  I suspect it would be easier to make in a
double boiler but have not done so.
