How We Roll
BAH-HUMBUG EGGNOG:
Thanksgiving has come and gone, that holiday music is already making your ears bleed and everyone is in the mood to drink! Last week, we brought you an amazing recipe for Hot Spiced Cider so this week we are taking you on a little trip down EggNog Lane. And before you get your panties in a knot about liking or not liking the Bah-Humbug Nog, we suggest you try this recipe and relax.
To Make a Bah-Humbug Nog:
Now, if you’re really into making this from scratch we suggest giving homemade eggnog a shot.
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon of
sugar
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar and continue to beat until it is completely dissolved. Add the milk, cream and nutmeg and stir to combine.Place the egg whites in another bowl and beat to soft peaks. With the mixer still running gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg whites into the mixture. Chill and serve.
If you’re a lazy bah-humbug like the rest of us, go the corner store and buy your favorite Egg Nog.
