Recipe For Eggnog With Alcohol

NON-ALCOHOLIC EGGNOG

Steps:

• Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl. The whites can be placed in another bowl, covered, and refrigerated for use later in another recipe.
• Add sugar to the yolks and use a hand blender or whisk to whisk them together till pale and creamy.
• Heat milk and cream in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Now slowly whisk the milk mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure to add the milk mixture in a thin, steady stream so that you don't scramble the eggs. Keep whisking continuously till all the milk is whisked in.
• Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook on medium heat till the eggnog thickens to your desired consistency. Keep stirring as it heats to keep it from sticking to the bottom.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

CLASSIC EGGNOG

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, egg yolk and sugar in a bowl until combined. Heat the milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming; do not boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. (Do not boil or the eggs will curdle.)
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Let cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
• Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Slowly whisk the whipped cream into the chilled eggnog mixture, then whisk in the rum. Pour into glasses, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve with cinnamon sticks.

NONALCOHOLIC EGGNOG

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
• Heat the milk and 3/4 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the liquid starts to steam; remove from the heat.
• Whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then pour the milk-egg mixture back into the saucepan. Return the saucepan to medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer reads 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl, and let it cool at room temperature until it is no longer hot, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours up to 3 days.
• When ready to serve, whip the remaining 3/4 cup cream with an electric mixer in a large bowl to medium peaks. Then, while whisking, slowly pour in the cold milk-egg mixture. The eggnog should be creamy and thicker than heavy cream. Serve with a light sprinkle of nutmeg and lemon zest if using.

EASIEST EGGNOG

Steps:

• Blend together eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Serve chilled.

HOMEMADE EGGNOG RECIPE

Steps:

• Add milk, egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon to a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until creamy.
• Pour mixture into a saucepan over low heat; add cinnamon stick and cloves.
• Cook the eggnog slowly for about 10-12 minutes after it starts to steam, stirring frequently until mixture starts to thicken. Slow is important! If you cook it too quickly, the mixture will curdle. Keep the heat low and do not simmer or boil. If you think the mixture is getting close to simmering or boiling, take it off the heat and stir vigorously to bring down the temperature.
• Once the mixture has thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain the mixture using a fine-mesh strainer to remove the cloves and cinnamon stick.
• Place the mixture in an airtight container and chill for 7-8 hours or overnight.
• Pour into glasses and sprinkle a little nutmeg and cinnamon on top before serving.

OLD FASHIONED HOMEMADE EGGNOG

Steps:

• Put the milk, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and 1/2 tsp vanilla into a large saucepan. Put it over the lowest heat setting on your stove for 5 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar for 1 minute.
• Turn the heat under the milk up to medium-high heat. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
• Slowly whisk in about 1/4 of the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture. Then pour all of the egg/sugar mixture back into the saucepan and whisk it all together. Put it over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes. It will thicken a bit.
• Pour the hot eggnog into a large bowl or beverage container and let cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Add cinnamon sticks back in (optional).
• After 1 hour, stir in the heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and nutmeg. Store in the fridge and allow to cool for at least 4 hours before serving.
