Traditional Eggnog: A Festive Creamy Beverage to Warm Your Holiday Spirit

“`html

Eggnog is a classic holiday drink that blends the rich and creamy textures of milk, cream, and eggs with the robust flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon. Often served cold, it’s a delightful treat topped with a sprinkle of spice, sometimes enhanced with a touch of your favorite spirits for an extra kick. This traditional recipe will guide you in creating a luscious eggnog that’s perfect for any festive gathering.

Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup bourbon or rum (optional)
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
* Additional grated nutmeg, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl and set aside.

2. Whisk the egg yolks: In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become light in color and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, whisking continuously, until well combined.

3. Combine the milk and cream: In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture until it is just below boiling. Do not let it boil.

4. Temper the egg yolks: Slowly add a small amount of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs. Gradually add more of the hot milk mixture until fully combined.

5. Cook the mixture: Pour the tempered egg yolk and milk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.

6. Add flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, freshly grated nutmeg, and bourbon or rum if using.

7. Beat the egg whites: In the bowl with the egg whites, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

8. Combine and chill: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cooked egg mixture until well incorporated. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.

9. Serve: Before serving, stir the eggnog well and pour it into glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and additional grated nutmeg.

Enjoy your traditional eggnog at any holiday celebration!
