We knew it was tasty, but who knew that making eggnog could be so easy?
Ingredients
  • 6 eggs (farm fresh if you can get them)
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 T sugar
  • 1 T vanilla
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Place eggs, milk, cream and sugar in blender. Blend on high until slightly thickened and frothy.
  2. Add vanilla and nutmeg; blend well.
  3. Chill until serving.
Notes
Consuming raw eggs does carry a risk of salmonella. Eggs fresh from a reputable farm may decrease this risk. (They also may be richer and tastier.) The better the ingredients, the better the final product. We used raw farm fresh eggs, raw milk and cream, Mexican vanilla and freshly grated nutmeg. Our eggnog was wonderful, far better than any from a carton.
