Default Nutmeg drink

Hi, i was wondering if anybody might be able to tell me about this drink.

My ex-boss and friend used to make this for us at the restaurant where i worked everyday before we'd start working. He told me it was a popular drink down there (perhaps other Carib countries too, i don't know) and that they had stands that would sell it ( i think thats what he said). It has different effects on everybody, sometimes it's even dangerous. He told me it was like an afrodisiac for him , for me it feels more like i am high on something. It was really quite disgusting because it had so much nutmeg in it (he would grate between 3-6 nutmegs for every batch he made which would be consumed by just me and him) , but the effects were so interesting i'd always have one.

Some of you guys must be familiar with this, no? Does the drink have some kind of name?

Default Watch out!

Nutmeg is highly toxic. A bit on your food or coffee will add a lovely taste and aroma, a whole nutmeg could kill you.
