Description 

I love eggnog but you can't buy it as easily in the UK as you can in America, so I decided to make my own.


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Start by separating the egg yolks and whites in to two mixing bowls.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Beat together the egg yolks with the majority of the sugar, saving a few tablespoons for the whites.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Add the milk and double cream.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Add the nutmeg and, if you want to make the drink alcoholic, the bourbon.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar, until thick and fluffy.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Finally whisk together both of the mixtures and chill. Serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

You aren't missing anything with the store bought stuff. The last carton I bought tasted like cardboard. EWWWW.

Your recipie however was AMAZING! My husband that hates egnog loved it!

I've always wondered what eggnog is - incase you can't tell they don't sell it in the UK (or at least I don't think they do, I've never seen it!!).

Looks yummy :P
