Make your own Eggnog!

You\'ll need:

4 egg YOLKS*

4 egg WHITES*

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon sugar

1 pint whole milk

1 cup heavy cream

3 ounces bourbon

1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

In a mixing bowl, beat 4 egg yolks* until the mixture is a lighter yellow

Add the 1/3 cup of sugar bit by bit while beating the egg yolks until the sugar has totally dissolved

Separately, in a medium saucepan, and over high heat, pour in the milk, heavy cream, and nutmeg

Stir occasionally until the mixture is at a boil

Once boiling, remove from heat and bit by bit, add the hot mixture into the egg yolk & sugar mixture

Now, add this combined mixture into the saucepan again and cook until the ingredients reach 160 degrees F (will need a thermometer for this)

At that point, you can remove the mixture from the heat, and stir in the bourbon

Pour the bourbon-infused mixture into a mixing bowl, and place it in the refrigerator to chill

After the mixture is chilled, beat the egg whites* until they are soft and fluffy, slowly adding bits of the 1 tablespoon of sugar

Once the egg whites are more stiff, they are ready to be added into the chilled mixture

You are ready to serve your eggnog!
