Vintage Eggnog Recipe
Published in the 1910s, this recipe has been augmented a bit to serve my tastebuds, so I encourage you to do the same. We all have different palates! The original is light, frothy and refreshing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg separated
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp dark rum
- 1 tsp brandy
Instructions
- Beat the egg yolk with the sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the milk, rum, and brandy with the beaten egg yolk.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg white until it forms soft peaks.
- Stir the egg white into the eggnog.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg and enjoy!
Notes
- Best served immediately, because of the whipped egg white.
- Try to source good farm fresh eggs for this recipe.
- Don't be afraid to play. Add more alcohol, use a healthier sugar, or sprinkle on some cinnamon instead of the nutmeg.
