Hee! I can see why they felt the need to do that with such a complicated recipe ;)

That one sounds much more unhealthy and therefore more yummy. LOL!

Ooh... I like the warning about salmonella! It all sounded very nice until I thought about the raw eggs. And 12 of them!!

i would never make my own eggnog. i hate the stuff anyway, but store-bought is the best way to go :s goodluck.

Ahaha.. well, do try and tell me how it tastes! In fact, I want photographic evidence so I can snicker at the strange faces you'll make - that is, if you mess up. XD Personally, eggnog tastes strange. Like a mixture of banana pancake batter with milk.

LOL! I will certainly take photos if I attempt it.

These are not in metric, is that what you need?





I should probably resize those, but those are scans of a recipe card my sister made for me. The recipe was originally from that cookbook noted on the first page.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

When making this you need to heat the eggs but not cook them.... you want them to be thoroughly heated through so they don't curdle when you mix in the alcohol and there's a lot of alcohol in this so that's a danger.

You also want the sugar dissolved in the egg mixture, that's the other reason to heat the egg mixture thoroughly... I'm not sure that's really spelled out in the recipe.

*hugs*

Yeah, I don't understand cups. LOL. The recipies [livejournal.com profile] kazzy_cee gave me seem fine

Thanks for the advice about the eggs though. Would not have thought of that :)

I think the original recipe has both metric and standard, but that is at home.

A cup is roughly .25 of a liter, if you want to try this recipe...

I thought eggnog was much the same as a snowball.

go to the store and buy it. then you won't risk drinking raw egg and getting sick cos you didn't do it right.

I'm not sure you can buy it over here. I've never seen it anyway
