Notes
Use fresh, cold eggs for safety and best foam. Make gingerbread syrup with molasses, ginger, sugar, and spices or buy pre-made. Pasteurized eggs or just yolk work if you prefer. Taste and tweak spice or sweetness as desired. Swap ginger liqueur for more or less spice. Garnish with extra nutmeg for aroma!
