N.B. USE PASTEURIZED EGGS! They're available at a lot of groceries or health food stores. You don't want Salmonella!
Assemble in advance
1 large bowl and
2 smaller ones
6 Pasteurized eggs
3/4 Cup of sugar
1 pint whipping cream
1 pint milk
1 pint Whiskey or Rum
Nutmeg and a grater
1. Separate 6 pasteurized eggs. I do this individually in case I break a yolk.
2. Beat the whites until stiff with an immaculate beater and bowl. They won't
whip up if there's any oil or grease at all.
Slowly add 1/2 cup of sugar when they begin to get frothy.
Set aside.
3. Beat the yolks until they are very pale and thick.
Add 1/4 cup of sugar.
4. Beat 1 pint of whipping cream until it holds stiff peaks.
5. Fold the whites, yolks, and whipping cream together.
6. Add 1 pint of milk.
7. (Option 1) Add 1 pint of good sipping whiskey or rum.
(Option 2) Add a shot of whatever liquor you choose to an old fashioned
glass and fill with egg nog. Stir well.
(Option 3) Forget the booze, enjoy the egg nog.
8. Grate fresh nutmeg on the top of the egg nog.
9 Enjoy!
