Rompope is served chilled, often over ice, but it can be served warm, which is how I prefer it when cold weather sets in. Either way, it's rich, velvety, fragrant, and certainly full of cheer.

Steps:
- Pulse almonds with 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor until ground to a fine paste.
- Bring milk, cinnamon, lemon rind, vanilla, and baking soda to a boil over medium-high heat in a large heavy-bottom saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, and ground almonds until thick and pale. Remove cinnamon and lemon rind and discard. Whisking constantly, slowly add the milk to the yolk mixture.
- Return mixture to pan and cook over low heat, constantly stirring and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Stir in rum or aguardiente. Serve.

[email protected]This rompope is delicious, but it's definitely not for everyone. It's very rich and creamy, so it's best enjoyed in small sips.

[email protected]The spices in this rompope are a bit overpowering. I would use less cinnamon and nutmeg next time.
