Egg Nog!

I LOVE EGGNOG
DEATH BY EGGNOG
GIVE ME MORE EGGNOG!
I actually love cream, plain cream. Yes, it's gross and decadent and gross but I love cream and  anything made from it like custards, creme brulee, puddings, real butter and I LOVE EGGNOG! So this time of year I fill up my 8 oz glass with eggnog. I take it with nutmeg and sometimes I'll add  rum or whiskey. I actually prefer whiskey to rum. My favorite brand is Promiseland.

My mother used to blend a raw egg, almond or vanilla Adams extract and milk with a tablespoon of sugar in the blender on high until it was frothy and called it milk punch. She would  give it to us as a morning snack and we loved it! Would not touch it now.

By the way Martha Stewart's eggnog:

12 eggs, separated

1 1/2 cups superfine sugar

1 quart whole milk

1 1/2 quarts heavy cream

3 cups bourbon

1/2 cup dark rum

2 cups cognac

Freshly grated nutmeg

1. In a very large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and pale yellow. Gradually add sugar to yolks. With a wire whisk, beat in milk and 1 quart cream. Add bourbon, rum, and cognac, stirring constantly.

2. Just before serving, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into mixture. Whip remaining 1/2 quart heavy cream until stiff, and fold in. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Note: Raw eggs should not be used in food prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.
