Blogmas Day 2 - An Easy Eggnog Tutorial

Hi loves!
Eggnog is something I have never tried, until recently. I always wanted to try it but the fact it was called 'EGGnog' always put me off slightly, for some reason I thought it was a lot more egg based than it actually is. Am I the only one who thought that?
 Anyways! I found an easy Eggnog tutorial in a magazine and thought I would give it a whirl. Luckily for you awesome people I decided to share it with you and show you my finished result.
Here's what you'll need;-

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup cream
• 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup rum or brandy

You can double up the recipe depending on how much you want to make but keep in mind that you should consume this within 2 days of making this because of the eggs and cream.
Instructions:

• Add the milk, Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Vanilla into a large saucepan and bring to a slight boil on a low heat.

• In a seperate bowl, combine the eggs and sugar and beat or whisk until light, white and fluffy. 

• Once complete, combine the milk formula into the large bowl and stir. Empty all of the ingredients back into the saucepan and keep on a low heat for a few minutes. Do not allow to boil though!

• Allow it to cool for an hour or two before adding in the cream & alcohol before stirring.

• Pour the mixture into your glasses and grate some nutmeg & chocolate over the top and add a cinnamon stick if you like. Put them in the fridge overnight to allow the flavours to infuse!

Easy as 1,2,3! If I can do it, trust me you can!
