Eggnog home -

Earlier this week, I share my like the nog. Although I am a big fan of things, I do not like all the syrup chemicals and corn found in the store bought kind. (I know there are organic things there, but my shop does not sell.) So I thought it would be a good idea to understand how to do it from scratch since I like to complicate things as it.

now, before you guys start getting all protests ahead on things raw egg, I must emphasize that this is * * cooked hen house. I do not like the idea of ​​raw eggs than you. However, this recipe is cooked to 0 degrees so that all the bacteria are killed and it is safe to drink. After that, all you have to do is relax for a few hours and you are good to go. Let me tell you that taste better than anything you can find in the store! I used low-fat milk and was still creamy and delicious. I also add my own vanilla and spices that is good for me since I love super spicy to start. In all I am very happy discovery. Enjoy !!
