- When the beer is hot, remove it from the heat and add the beaten eggs with sugar.
- Heat everything again, stirring with a few sticks for a couple of minutes over a low heat, taking care not to cook the eggs.
- Add the butter and stir until it melts (or the cream if it is not melted) and if you want, strain the resulting liquid to remove the remains of spices.
