Eggnog (/ˈɛɡˌnɒɡ/), also spelled egg nog or egg-nog, and historically also known (when alcoholic beverages are added) as milk punch or egg milk punch, is a rich, chilled, sweetened. So whether you're caroling, or sitting by an open fire, make yourself an Eggnog and enjoy the Holiday season. Eggnog is pretty much synonymous with Christmas. What other time of year do we drink something that's basically custard spiked with booze?
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook eggnog for two (or three) using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
- Make ready 2 Fresh eggs - separate the whites and yolks so you have 2 whites and 2 yolks
- Make ready 240 ml Whole milk (1 cup)
- Make ready 120 ml Heavy cream (1/2 cup - sub milk for lighter version)
- Take 4 tbsp Sugar, more to taste
- Make ready 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- Make ready 3 Tbsp Bourbon or rum (i love cointreau too!)
- Make ready 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- Get 1/4 tsp Ground cloves (optional)
- Make ready Dash Cinnamon
Here's what you'll need for six servings. Scale up or down depending on how many are coming over! One more quick note, while we're talking about entertaining: You can. Eggnog is a beloved holiday beverage for some and reviled one for others, but it might actually be safer to drink a few weeks after you make it.
Steps to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate large bowls.
- With a whisk or mixer, beat the egg yolks until they start to lighten in color. Then, gradually add 3 Tbsp of sugar, mixing it in until it dissolves.
- Add the milk, cream, bourbon (and Cointreau if using) and nutmeg and stir to combine. I prefer mine less sweet so taste and add more sugar if you like. Set aside.
- In the other bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy and "soft peaks" form (that means the little peaks that form when beating start to form, but will still melt back into the mixture).
- Gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (= the egg white peaks will stand up on their own without melting back into the mix).
- Fold the egg whites into the rest of eggnog. Serve into cups and dust with cinnamon and more nutmeg to taste.
