Christmas Eggnog

Are you an Eggnog drinker?

Do you buy Eggnog from the grocery store?

I'm here to tell you to STOP.

Quit buying artificial, sickening sweet, tasting eggnog.

The real deal is so easy to make and

literally takes about 15 minutes.

And the taste.....Oh the taste.
It is rich and creamy with a touch of sweetness.

Store bought eggnog doesn't even come close to this!

Because this is my go to recipe for the best tasting Eggnog
I knew that I had to share it with you.

This recipe was created by Alton Brown, from the Food Network.

Eggnog

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks

1/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon

16 oz. whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

3 ounces bourbon (optional)       (I personally prefer the bourbon added)

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

4 egg whites

Directions:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks until they are lighten in color. Gradually add the

1/3 cup of sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved.

Add the milk, cream, bourbon and nutmeg and stir to combine.

Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and beat to soft peaks. With the mixer still running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

Whisk the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.  Chill and serve.

*Whisk the mixture to blend before pouring into glasses.  Yields: 6-7 cups

Here's toasting to prosperity and health.
