Eggnog

9 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs, separated
  • 2 lbs sugar
  • 1 quart Bourbon
  • 1 pint jamaica rum (Meyers)
  • 1 pint brandy
  • 1 pint milk
  • 3 pints heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1
    In a VERY large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the sugar and egg yolks until light colored and dull.
  2. 2
    Slowly add the bourbon and rum.
  3. 3
    Stir in the milk and cream and then the brandy.
  4. 4
    Beat the egg white with 1/3 cup sugar till stiff peaks form.
  5. 5
    Stir in the whites (I use a wisk).
  6. 6
    Note: If you are going to bottle the eggnog you need to store in a large container and whisk it evereyday until all the egg whites are incorporated, this can take 4-5 days, and a real good excuse to sample some everyday.
  7. 7
    The egg whites keep rising to the top and makes bottling hard.
  8. 8
    If you are making for a party make the day before and give it a good stir before pouring in the punch bowl, top with more nutmeg if desired.
