HOT EGGNOG

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 quart milk
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup bourbon or rum
grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat milk just until small bubbles form without boiling. Beat egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy. Add salt and hot milk and mix well. Place over low heat or hot water and cook, while stirring, until mixture thickens (excess heat and long cooking will cause it to curdle).
  • Beat egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the 1/4 cup sugar. Fold whites into hot milk mixture. Stir in bourbon or rum. Serve hot with a dash of nutmeg.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your eggnog.
  • Use whole milk and heavy cream. This will give your eggnog a rich and creamy texture.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the eggnog too thick and frothy.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in eggnog include nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla.
  • Chill the eggnog before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the eggnog to thicken.
  • Garnish the eggnog with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. This will add a festive touch.
  • Serve the eggnog with cookies or other holiday treats.

Conclusion:

Eggnog is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for the holiday season. With its rich and creamy texture and its warm, inviting spices, eggnog is sure to please everyone.
