What is eggnog made of? Someone told me, spoiled eggs and other ingredients. Is this true?

Answer 1

Fresh only! But it can be cooked or uncooked as far as the eggs go.
Most are uncooked, here's a cooked recipe

Answer 2

That's so gross. It's made out of fresh eggs (the fresher, the better!), milk or cream, sugar, vanilla and rum, if you want it alcoholic.

A point, though. Since the eggs are not cooked, you must be very careful with handling. Ensure that the eggs are NEVER allowed to get warmer than 4 degrees C, and once you are finished making the eggnog, it should go straight back into the refrigerator.

Answer 3

Eggnog (or egg nog) is a type of milk-based punch belonging to the posset family. It originates in Europe and its name may have originated from grog or from a small drinking cup known as a noggin. Eggnog typically consists of milk, eggs, and sugar mixed together and may be served with or without added spirits. Other ingredients include spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, or allspice. Eggnog is typically served as a Christmas time drink. ...

Answer 4

Traditional recipes call for raw eggs. This recipe is cooked gently to kill any bacteria that may be lurking in the eggs. I have never heard of using spoiled eggs!!!

Virgin Eggnog

INGREDIENTS:

* 6 large eggs, plus 2 yolks
* 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 4 cups whole milk
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
* 1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
* Additional grated nutmeg for garnish

PREPARATION:
Combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a heavy 3- or 4-quart pan, whisking until well-combined. Continue whisking while pouring milk in a slow, steady stream until completely incorporated.

Turn on burner to lowest possible heat setting. Place pan on burner and stir mixture continuously until an instant-read thermometer reaches 160 degrees F. and the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be patient. This should take about 25 to 30 minutes.

Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl to remove any accidental small cooked bits of egg. Add vanilla extract and nutmeg, stirring to combine. Pour into a glass pitcher, decanter, or container and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate this egg custard mixture to chill at least 4 hours or up to 3 days before finishing.

When ready to serve, pour heavy cream into a bowl and whip until it forms soft peaks. Fold whipped cream into cold custard mixture until combined.

For grown-up eggnog, add 1/2 cup of brandy, bourbon or rum to the hot eggnog mix before chilling! ;-)

Answer 5

Real eggnog is made with 2 raw fresh eggs, an 8 oz. glass of whole milk, two teaspoons of sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a couple shots of rum or other favorite whisky if you like alcohol and then mixed in a blender and served with a dusting of nutmeg on top and add some whipped cream too if you like.

Granny Cowart never drank a drop of alcohol, but she sure did enjoy this eggnog!

Answer 7

Eggnog uses actual eggs. The eggs are 'cooked' by the addition of brandy which is highly alcoholic, and the additional beating of the ingredients together 'cooks' the eggs even more.
