16 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup skin-on hazelnuts (not roasted)
  • 2 wide strips orange zest
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise pods
  • 4 whole cloves
  • 1 13.5 ounce can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup (nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg whites*
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 cup dark or spiced rum (optional)
  • Freshly grated nutmeg (for serving)
  • 2 pieces of cheesecloth

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine cashews, hazelnuts, and 4 cups hot water in a blender or a large bowl. Tie up orange zest, cinnamon, star anise, and cloves in a layer of cheesecloth. Lightly crush spices with a wooden spoon to release oils and add to nut mixture. Let sit overnight.
  2. 2
    Remove spice bundle; discard. Blend nut mixture 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a layer of cheesecloth into a large pitcher, squeezing out as much liquid as possible. Whisk coconut milk, agave, and vanilla into nut milk. Cover and chill until cold, at least 3 hours.
  3. 3
    Just before serving, beat egg whites in a medium bowl to soft peaks; beat in powdered sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar. Combine rum, if using, and nut milk mixture in a punch bowl. Top with meringue and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  4. 4
    DO AHEAD: Nut milk mixture can be made 5 days ahead. Keep chilled.
