5 Answers
Could someone please tell me exactly what egg nog is and how to make it?
With the festive period soon upon us, I often hear of it and have always wondered what It's like.

From Spencer Christian

Ingredients
2 dozen eggs*
2 qts. milk (whole milk or low-fat)
2 cans evaporated milk
8 oz. vanilla extract
4 c. granulated sugar
10-12 dashes cinnamon
10-12 dashes nutmeg
1 pt. 151-proof rum
1 pt. bourbon
1 c. Christian Brothers brandy
Directions
Put eggs in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl.
Add milk to the mixture, keep stirring constantly. Add evaporated milk, keep mixing. Add vanilla, keep mixing. Add sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, still mixing, of course.
Add rum, bourbon, and brandy. Refrigerate after it is made. It tastes best when chilled. It is very powerful and tasty!
Makes approximately 1 gallon (fills a giant punch bowl).
*Food safety experts warn against eating raw eggs. Spencer's family recipe is a strong tradition and he, like many others, is willing to assume the risk of using raw eggs in this recipe. Raw eggs may contain salmonella which can make you very sick and in rare cases can be fatal. To avoid the problem, cook the milk and eggs until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Then refrigerate until ready to serve. Another alternative is to use an egg substitute that has been pasteurized.
