Good morning all,

We have a very festive and special Christmas post for you today. We’re going to be teaching you how to make a quick and delicious Christmas eggnog which is just perfect to whip up for family and friends. Here’s what you’ll need to serve 6 people:

2 cups milk

3 whole cloves

1/2 a teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

6 egg yolks

3/4 a cup sugar

1 and a 1/2 cup light rum

2 cups light cream

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 a teaspoon nutmeg

The Method:

Combine milk, cloves, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon in a saucepan, and heat over lowest setting for 5 minutes. Slowly bring milk mixture to a boil.

In a large bowl, combine egg yolks and sugar. Whisk together until fluffy. Whisk hot milk mixture slowly into the eggs. Pour mixture into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil. Strain to remove cloves, and let cool for about an hour.

Stir in rum, cream, 2 teaspoon vanilla, and nutmeg. Refrigerate overnight before serving.

And there you have it! It’s literally the easiest and cosiest Christmas by-the-fire drink. Thank you to All Recipes for the recipe. We made this the other day and it was absolutely delicious.
