Egg nog drink

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make eggnog drink? To prepare an alcoholic New Year's egg nog, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take large, selected eggs. If the eggs are small, it is better to take 3 pieces or 3 yolks and 2 proteins. All spices and sugar are also measured according to your taste. If your favorite ingredient is cinnamon, then you can add it not only in the form of a stick, but also in powder. If you need a non-alcoholic version of the drink - just do not add bourbon to it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pour milk into a saucepan, add cloves, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, vanilla and salt.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put a saucepan on a small fire and warm up the milk until strong steam comes from it, but do not bring it to a boil. It is advisable to stir the milk often so that it does not boil to the bottom of the saucepan.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove the milk from the heat and let it brew at room temperature.

   Separate the whites from the yolks. Put the proteins in the refrigerator. Pour sugar into the yolks and rub white with a whisk or whisk with a mixer.

6. Step 6:

   

   Strain the still warm spicy milk through a fine sieve.

7. Step 7:

   

   With constant stirring (or whipping), pour the flavored milk into the beaten yolks in a thin stream. Milk foam may appear on the surface, this is normal, it will settle as it cools and infuses.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour the resulting mixture back into the saucepan and put it on medium heat. Warm up the mixture, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 70 ° C. It is better to monitor the temperature with a cooking thermometer.

    If there is no cooking thermometer, dip a metal spoon into the drink for a few seconds and take it out. The milk mixture should drain from the spoon, leaving behind a whitish film.

11. Step 10:

    

    Pour cream into a saucepan and mix. Then remove from the heat. Wait until the egg nog cools down and, stirring constantly, pour in the bourbon.

    Put the drink to infuse in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, preferably overnight. With a long infusion, it is better to tighten the saucepan with cling film so that the aroma of the drink does not fade.

13. Step 12:

    

    Before serving, whisk the cold whites into a dense shiny foam.

14. Step 13:

    

    With constant stirring, add them to the infused drink.

15. Step 14:

    

    Mix eggnog thoroughly until the ingredients are completely combined. If you don't eat raw eggs, then you can just skip this step. I warmed up the drink a little so that it was warm - I like it better in this form.

    Pour the finished drink into glasses, sprinkle with grated nutmeg and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
