What is eggnog and how do you make it?????!
Answers: i always see this in american christmas films and have always wondered what it is and what it tastes like
Egg nog is really good, traditionally made with eggs, milk, nutmeg, and rum. Unfortunately, it's very high in fat and calories. It's very thick, and many people mix it with plan skim or low fat milk so that they flavor is there, but it's easier to drink. It goes great with cookies or any holiday dessert.
Here is a basic recipe:
Ingredients
(Serves 15-20, inebriates 6)
12 egg whites
100 g sugar
12 egg yolks
200 g sugar
1 ml salt
1 l heavy cream, beaten
1 l milk
1 l Bourbon
250 ml dark rum
e.g., Myers's Rum
Procedure
Beat whites stiff; beat in 100 g sugar.
Beat yolks until very light with 200 g sugar, and salt.
Combine and stir until thoroughly blended.
Add cream, then milk, then Bourbon.
Beat well.
Add rum.
Store in a cold cellar for a week.
Notes
Serve with freshly-grated nutmeg. The egg nog should be ladled from the bottom of the bowl, and never stirred, in order to maintain its layered quality.
An alternate method, preferred by some, is to make a creamy, non-layered egg nog by stirring gently every day.
Anymore, it is very common for people to purchase the beverage in stores without alcohol-which is what my family always does : )
Eggnog is drank during Christmas and is like milk
Eggnog is like this: http://256.com/gray/recipes/eggnog/
But it's easily bought during the holiday season in the milk section of the market... or all year 'round by Bordon in the can (not recommended - lol) Then you have to buy your own rum and add it...
Also there is a St. Nick brand that's bought bottled in the liquor store that's already got the booze in... I find it a bit strong but my hubby adores it!
