Christmas Holiday Treats : How to Make Eggnog

Separate 6 egg yolks from 6 egg whites and reserve the egg whites in a bowl.

Add 1 cup of sugar to the egg yolks and beat for 10 minutes until thick and creamy, resembling the color of butter.

Slowly add 1 cup of bourbon and 3/8 cup of brandy to the egg yolk mixture while mixing for 5 minutes.

Cover the mixture and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.

After 4 hours, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and add 3 cups of whole milk, mixing until combined.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to the mixture, using a whisk if necessary to break up any clumps.

Whip the cream until it forms stiff white peaks.

Beat the reserved egg whites until they form stiff white peaks.

Gently fold the whipped cream and beaten egg whites into the egg yolk and brandy mixture, starting from the center and working outwards to maintain fluffiness.

Optionally, return the mixture to the refrigerator to chill or serve immediately.

Serve the eggnog in a glass and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top for garnish.
