I’m making a batch right now that gets heated. Next week I’m going to try a raw nog recipe that gets aged in the fridge for 3 weeks to give the liquid time to sterilize the mix. Anyone else making their own? The store bought crud is all sugar and corn syrup. Mine will be mostly eggs, dairy, and booze. I have some bourbon, cognac, and dark rum. I used to add Kahlua, but it already has a ton of sugar. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Not making any but I do love the nog. I've asked several people in past 2 weeks and all I get is how much they dislike it. Buncha dern bah humbuggers. Your home made sounds great. I can enjoy even the store bought crud. | |||

Baileys makes a great eggnog. It's not cheap but worth every penny. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I sterilize mine with Jack Daniels. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is. It is the crucial test. None but the humane treat a cat well.” -- Mark Twain, 1902 | |||

I like all egg nog....store bought, home made....with booze, without. Doesn't matter. I put on weight during winter time almost solely because of the stuff! Drink it by the gallon....and have thankfully passed on my affliction to my children as well  My wife hates it. _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

I think all women hate it. At least every woman I've ever met. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Years ago on a Friday night I made the recipe in Gourmet magazine. Dark rum, bourbon, seperate the eggs and whisk vigorously, and so on... sampled the 'nog and liquors while baking krinkle cookies. I think that I was so drunk that I sobered up at about 11:00 am the next morning at the USPSA match. Or maybe the Gatorade kicked away the hangover. Well, time for another go at it albeit with much much less sampling. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

Serenity now! |
We're already over the one gallon mark since Thanksgiving. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

Just came in from plowing snow, and my wife was drinking an eggnog with spice rum. Me, hot African Sunrise herbal tea, still have other chores with the horses. Jim | |||

This is the raw nog recipe I'm trying: https://www.cooksillustrated.c...and-safe-aged-eggnog I just made this one (cooked): http://www.recipearchive.com/recipe1.php3?rid=143
That's actually how it works. Check out the raw recipe I posted above. Three weeks in the fridge is enough time for the ethanol to kill any bacteria present. Yum. I like to add some fresh vanilla bean seed scrapings. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
