【Poppy Kitchen】Christmas Special Drink——Eggnog

Overview

Eggnog is a traditional Christmas drink in North America. (It is also available in other regions. I will not discuss places I am not familiar with here.) Some people say that eggnog was a Christmas drink that only people with status and status could afford to drink. Some people also say that it was invented by people in the past who put together unused eggs and milk and added wine. No matter what, Christmas without eggnog is like Spring Festival without firecrackers. It always feels like something is missing. Many stores in North America also launch special items during Christmas, such as eggnog latte, eggnog pudding, eggnog ice cream, etc., but they are generally non-alcoholic. You can also buy non-alcoholic egg milk directly in the supermarket. You can add wine at home and it becomes eggnog, which is very convenient! The only drawback is that North American tastes tend to be sweet, or very sweet. Therefore, in this recipe, I have taken into account the national conditions of our country and reduced the amount of sugar a lot. (ง•̀_•́)ง If you have the habit of watching American TV series, please note that eggnog often appears in TV series about Christmas. Eggnog is made from eggs, milk, cream, sugar, nutmeg and wine. For the wine, brandy, rum or bourbon is usually used. This time I used bourbon and bought the cheapest kind. There is no need to use too good ones, it is a waste! If you like to eat Portuguese egg tarts, then this eggnog is your dish~~~It’s just egg milk without adding wine, suitable for all ages!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Raw material picture

   

2. 2 In a cooking pot (do not turn on the heat yet!) mix 4 egg yolks and 35g of sugar, use a whisk to beat the egg yolks until they change color slightly, and mix them evenly. Pour in all the milk, cream, salt and egg yolks and mix well.

   

3. 3 Heat while stirring over low heat. Turn off the heat as soon as bubbles begin to bubble around the edge of the pot. Pour into a large bowl and place in cold water to cool. After cooling, place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

   

4. 4 Meringue: Beat 4 egg whites + 1 spoon of sugar. Just wait until it can stand upright as shown in the picture.

   

5. 5 Mix the meringue and cooled egg yolk milk thoroughly. (You can add wine at this step) Place in the refrigerator overnight.

   

6. 6 The next morning, sprinkle the eggnog with nutmeg and drink it! Serve with some snacks.

   

7. 7 I like to drink it with fresh wine, a glass of 255ml egg milk + 45ml bourbon.

   

8. 8 Mix well.

   

9. 9 One of the two glasses contains wine, and one does not. It tastes sweet and has a hint of wine?
