Eggnog
A drink that has become synonymous with the holidays started off as a drink
that only upper-class Englishmen drank to toast health and welcome
in the New Year. A holiday party would be incomplete without eggnog
to loosen up the crowd. You can be an egghead and buy a box from the
grocery store, but nothing says love than with the word “homemade”.
What you’ll need:
6 eggs
1/ 2 pint rum
1/2 pint brandy
2 pints heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Separate the whites from the yolks. Set the whites
aside and beat egg yolks well.
- Add granulated sugar, liquor, and slowly add enough whipping cream
to make a pale yellow color
- Whip remaining cream with powdered sugar and fold into
the mixture.
- Stir in vanilla, nutmeg, and salt.
- Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours.
- Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold in.
- Sprinkle nutmeg on top and serve in a punch bowl.
