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.

  • 6 Egg(s)

Steps (6 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

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

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

  3. 3

    Add the milk and double cream.

  4. 4

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

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

  6. 6

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