[Clara points out the ingredients that need to be used on the stovetop, letting Marta get to work. She's got to go find a nice big bottle of alcohol to add to things. This nog is going to be spiked and delicious and get everyone nice and tipsy.]

[She finally asks, when she's standing at Marta's side, guiding her hand on exactly how to stir the liquid that's in the saucepan.
