Eggnog at Holiday times~

[Lewkat]

I love it, but due to its richness, I can't drink too much. We have it every holiday season.

I love eggnog, but it is too rich to have much at a time for me. What i do is buy a quart of it in the holiday season and add it to my morning coffee instead of regular milk or cream, and sometimes I dilute it with milk and then it last longer.

I mix it half and half with milk. We like Pet brand the best. Even over the fancier ones.

I’m a big fan of eggnog.

When we were kids our mother always made us a glass of this simple eggnog when we were sick. I still use this basic recipe during the holidays with the addition of some heavy whipping cream in place of part of the milk.

Eggnog for one
1 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
grated nutmeg

Whirl in a blender and add a shot of booze if you like.

Byrne Dairy is the local cult favorite, along with peppermint flavored milk.

My mother made that for me to get protein in when I was being picky.

I love eggnog but I don't buy it because I'd be tempted to drink too much of it. I doubt I'll be attending any holiday parties where I could get a glass of it. I also love eggnog ice cream, which I haven't seen in a long time. I may pick up a quart of eggnog, now that you mention it. My blood sugar is being controlled better and I'll have to just control myself.

Ooh, eggnog ice cream........must buy..........
I turn into a robot when my mind hears certain things.

I saw eggnog in Kroger yesterday. Love it, but didn't buy it because 223 calories per glass is not what I actually need. I may get some later in the season. I wouldn't dream of ruining it with any kind of alcohol.

We used to make our own eggnog every year and it was always very good. I knew there was some small risk of SALMONELLA, but I'd eaten raw egg in one form or another for years so I didn't worry about it.

Then, in the 1990s, I contracted salmonella (not from raw egg but from unwashed produce at a restaurant). Believe me, this disease is NOT something you ever want to experience. The Cleveland Clinic says only one in 20,000 eggs contains salmonella but I'll never risk it again!

Before you give up try making a cooked drinking custard, basically a pasteurized version of eggnog that can be made a day ahead and left in the fridge to chill.

I like a nice cup of eggnog with a little brandy in it, or a little cinnamon and nutmeg on top. I have had eggnog served warm with cinnamon and nutmeg on tog. It’s also good served that way.

Same here .. it will probably hit the shelves in a few days.

Maybe Aldi's will stock up on it then I can have it delivered

Great! I've never had eggnog with liquor in it before. One of these days maybe

I like a little dark rum or cognac in mine, it doesn’t take much.

The clerks at the liquor store always look sideways at me when I ask for a half pint.

I'd try it with cognac. I've never had cognac.

Cognac is nice in all sorts of things.

I like to add a little to cream of mushroom soup, frosting, whipped cream, etc…

My Aldi's had it in last week & I bought one. I haven't opened it up yet, but I will today.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I've not had Cognac for about 10 years and is sure sounds appealing
right about now, and in some Eggnog, I don't have year either lol

You really should try it. A little brandy really accents the taste.
