UNCLE ANGELO'S EGG NOG
What makes this recipe special is its lightness: twice as much milk as cream, and the white of the egg whipped stiff and folded into the mix, so it was almost like clouds on top of the eggnog.

EGG NOG
This is a classic nog made with a cooked custard base, perfect for those turned off by raw eggs. Rum adds a deeply sugary, spicy note, although feel free to riff with a favorite bourbon or brandy. This recipe serves 8. (The New York Times)

ADAM'S OLD FASHIONED EGG NOG
Steps:
- In a large bowl with a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter). Very slowly, add in the bourbon and brandy - just a little at a time. When the bourbon and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge Allow at least 4 hours for this. Once the mixture is fully chilled stir in the milk Stir in 1 & 1/2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg,one teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract or all the inside scrapings of the vanilla bean and discarding the outer protective shell of the bean. In a separate bowl, beat the cream with a mixer on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture. After ladling into your cups, garnish with some nutmeg. Enjoy!
Tips for Making the Perfect Eggnog:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh eggs, whole milk, and heavy cream are essential.
- Temper the Eggs: To prevent curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking them with a small amount of the hot milk mixture before adding them to the main pot.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cook the eggnog over low heat and stir continuously to avoid scorching. Use a wooden spoon to stir the eggnog to prevent the milk proteins from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Chill Thoroughly: After cooking, chill the eggnog thoroughly for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and mellow.
- Garnish Elegantly: Garnish the eggnog with freshly grated nutmeg, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant touch.
