I always used to think the idea of eggnog sounded disgusting. Who wants to drink raw egg, right??
So what if it's a posh drink consumed by the aristocracy. I just couldn't get past the rawness of the egg.
But in my search for delicious traditional things to wow my British mother-in-law with, I decided to give eggnog a try this year and began to google search for a recipe. Something simple. And easy. With the ingredients I could muster.
This is the recipe I share with you now, as modified by me.
The recipe for eggnog that has me dreaming of more.
The recipe for eggnog that has all-comers licking their lips and proclaiming: We love it! Raw egg be dashed!
It's so easy. And oh so delicious... Like a creamy spicy milkshake...
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brandy or rum (I used Baileys)
Put all the Ingredients in a blender and whiz until mixed and creamy.
Pour into glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
Serve to any rellies you want to impress.
Mmmmmmmm.... yummo!
{serves four people; add an extra egg per person, plus proportionally extra milk/cream liquor etc to serve more guests}
This is traditionally drunk at Christmas but I think I'll be serving it up on New Years Eve as well!
