Making the Base
Ingredients:
Eggs - 6 large, separated
Sugar - 1 cup
Milk - 2 cups
Heavy Cream - 1 cup
Nutmeg - 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon
To start, you will need to separate the egg yolks from the whites. Keep the whites in a separate bowl and set them aside for later. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow in color. Add in the milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and continue to beat until well combined.
Cooking the Base
In a saucepan, heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. This will help to thicken the mixture and cook the eggs. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as this can curdle the eggs. Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
Adding the Flavors
Ingredients:
Rum or Bourbon - 1/2 cup (optional)
Whipped Cream - for topping
Garnishes - nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, or whipped cream
If you want to add a little extra kick to your eggnog, you can stir in some rum or bourbon to the cooled base mixture. This will add a warm and boozy flavor to the drink. However, this step is completely optional and can be omitted if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
Once you have added your desired flavors, it's time to assemble your eggnog. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cooled base mixture. This will add a light and airy texture to your eggnog.
Serving and Enjoying
Pour your homemade eggnog into glasses and top with a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some nutmeg or cinnamon on top or add a cinnamon stick as a garnish. Serve your eggnog chilled and enjoy the creamy, spiced flavor with your loved ones.
Now that you have the recipe for a perfect holiday eggnog drink, it's time to put on your apron and get mixing. Impress your guests with this delicious and festive beverage, and make it a new holiday tradition in your household. Happy sipping!
