On New Years Eve I am making eggnog to this recipe:
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup brandy
• 1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is OK)
• 2 cups whipping cream
• 2 cups milk
All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance.
Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg.
Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.
These are American measurements I am converting them to English ones. Also I am doubling the recipe because I want to make enough to give 4 adults 2 portions each and I have heard that its roughly 1 egg per portion.
Has anybody made eggnog and if so do you have any tips for me?
