I've always wondered what Egg Nog actually was until my Dad made me a batch of it last year. Quite tasty and definitely something you have to try once! Why not bring some along to the next Christmas party you're going to?
Here's a simple recipe for it.
Ingredients12 eggs, separated
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy/ thickened cream
2 cups bourbon
1.5 cups sugar
¾ cup brandy
2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
DirectionsIn a large bowl and using a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter). Very slowly add in the bourbon and brandy – just a little at a time. When they have been fully added allow the mixture to cool in the fridge (for up to 6 hours, depending on how long before the party you’re making it) 30 minutes before people are going to have it, stir the milk into the chilled yolk mixture and voila - Christmas Egg Nog!
For an extra treat you can also sprinkle some flake on top and use a cinnamon stick to decorate... yum!
