For future reference, the eggnog recipe I’ve been using. For one batch this year, I accidentally substituted bourbon for brandy. I’m pretty sure it’ll be just fine.<\/p>\n
8 large eggs, separated
\n 1\/4 cup dark brown sugar
\n 1 pinch salt
\n 1 cups heavy cream
\n 3 cups whole milk
\n 1\/2 cup brandy
\n 1\/2 cup dark rum
\n 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
\n 1\/2 cup granulated sugar
\n 1\/2 teaspoon nutmeg fresh grated<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, brown sugar and salt until thickened and pale brown in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in cream and milk, followed by the brandy, rum and vanilla.<\/p>\n
In a separate large, clean bowl, whip egg whites and the granulated with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. <\/p>\n
Slowly mix the two egg mixtures together.<\/p>\n
Move to a large glass jar (or a couple of smaller ones) and store in the fridge for a minimum of 2 weeks. A month would be better, and two better still. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
