Aunt Lulu's Original Eggnog

Recipe Ingredients

12		Egg yolks
2 1/2 cups	495g / 17oz	Sugar
2 cups	474ml	Bourbon - see * Note
1 pint		Whipping cream - beaten to soft peaks and chilled
2 cups	474ml	Milk
		Freshly-grated nutmeg - as needed

Recipe Instructions

Beat the yolks just to break them up. Add the sugar, a little at a time, beating until the mixture becomes lemon-colored, 5 minutes. Stir in the Bourbon. Fold the cream and milk into the yolk mixture, then sprinkle the nutmeg on top.

Place the eggnog in a punch bowl and set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice to keep cold.

Hints

Caution: Although many recipes call for uncooked eggs, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has found them to be a potential carrier of food-borne illness and recommends that infants, the elderly and immuno-compromised people avoid raw eggs.

Note: This is an extremely strong eggnog; you can reduce the Bourbon to 1 cup, if you prefer.
