Eggnog Recipe

Our Thanksgiving food was absolutely delicious but one culinary delight was a personal highlight. My husband made eggnog. I didn't grow up around much alcohol and frankly had only tasted eggnog from a grocery store carton but in my husband's family eggnog is a holiday tradition. This is Jess' eggnog recipe. Have a very merry Christmas!

6 eggs
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Use pre-chilled ingredients for best results. In a medium bowl beat the eggs until they are very frothy. Add sugar and continue beating. Sprinkle nutmeg and vanilla. Continue beating. Slowly add the whipping cream while beating. Continue by slowly beating in milk. Finally beat in rum and brandy. After all that beating your arm will be tired. Chill eggnog and serve as a tasty treat.
