Homemade Eggnog Recipe

This eggnog is probably the best eggnog recipe I have ever made or tried. It is smooooooth. People get a bit funny about raw eggs, so if it bothers you, consume quickly after making. If raw eggs don’t bother you, this is better day two.

Eggnog has been around a loooong time. The etymology traces back to medieval times: where the nog part of eggnog may from the word noggin, a Middle English term for a small, carved wooden mug used to serve alcohol.

The Farmer’s Almanac lists George Washington’s Eggnog Recipe (which would have me on the floor but quick!)

“One quart cream, one quart milk, one dozen tablespoons sugar, one pint brandy, 1/2 pint rye whiskey, 1/2 pint Jamaica rum, 1/4 pint sherry—mix liquor first, then separate yolks and whites of eggs, add sugar to beaten yolks, mix well. Add milk and cream, slowly beating. Beat whites of eggs until stiff and fold slowly into mixture. Let set in cool place for several days. Taste frequently.”

Clearly eggnog has evolved over the years. A bit (ok a lot) less booze, a bit more egg.

Homemade Eggnog Recipe Notes:

• Do NOT substitute white rum for the spiced rum.

• If you do not have heavy whipping cream, you can substitute half and half. It will not be as rich, but that is not necessarily bad.

Homemade Eggnog Recipe Ingredients:

• 6 Large Eggs
• ½ cup Sugar
• 1½ tsp Nutmeg
• ¾ cup Brandy
• ¾ cup Spiced Rum
• 2 cups Whole Milk
• 1½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream

Homemade Eggnog Mise en Place:

• Blender
• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Pitcher
• Glasses

Homemade Eggnog Recipe Directions:

• Beat 6 large eggs in a blender for a minute (if using a blentec, 20 seconds is fine).

• Add ½ cup sugar, blend again for another 30-45 seconds (if using a blentec, 10 seconds is fine).

• Add 1½ teaspoons of nutmeg, ¾ cup of brandy, ¾ cup of spiced rum, 2 cups of milk and 1½ cups of heavy whipping cream until combined (30 seconds with a blentec, at 40 seconds so the the eggs do not start to cook).
• Chill thoroughly.
• Stir before serving.

• Pour into glass or mug, top with nutmeg.
• Refrigerated eggnog when not in use.
