You will learn how to make a cup of eggnog.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Definately need: 2 egg yolks, 3 tblsp. suggar, 1 cup of milk, a whisk
  • Possible need: a pot and a stove
  1. Step 1

    Whisk two egg yolks, the sugar, and milk. Add nutmeg and/or cinnamon to spice it up. Pour into cup and drink!

  2. Step 2

    If you are concerned about bacteria (i.e. salmonella from the eggs), whisk the two egg yolks, sugar, and milk over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit---this will pasteurize the eggs, making it safe to drink.

    After the eggnog reaches 170 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool. Afterwards, add nutmeg &/or cinnamon if desired, pour into cup and drink!

  3. Step 3

    Of course, you can always add a little whiskey or rum to your eggnog, if desired. Just remember not to drive if you do!

    Happy Holidays!

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember: if you are concerned about bacteria (i.e., salmonella), pasteurize the eggnog as described above.
