Homemade Eggnog Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Cup Sugar
12 Egg Yolks
4 Cups Whole
Milk
1 Cup Heavy
Cream
8 ounces
Brandy
4 ounces Gold
Rum
1 tablespoon
Vanilla Extract
½ tablespoon
ground Nutmeg
Preparation:
For safety,
these eggs are cooked. This also makes a richer, creamer, more decadent drink.
Beat the
sugar into the egg yolks until thickened and pale yellow.
Set aside.
Bring the
milk to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Slowly beat
the hot milk into the egg yolks.
Pour the
entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
Stir
constantly until the temperature reaches 150°F or the mixture is thick enough to
coat the
back of a wooden spoon.
Immediately
remove from heat. Strain into a large bowl and set aside to cool.
In a small
bowl beat the cream until it is slightly thickened, then fold it into the
cooled egg
mixture.
Add the
brandy, rum, vanilla, and nutmeg.
Stir well.
Cover and refrigerate
for at least 4 hours.
Serve ice
cold in small glasses, or serve from a medium punch bowl filled with one large
block
of ice.
This recipe
makes about 2 quarts (just under 2 liters).
