Egg Nog

If anyone is interested in making homemade egg nog for the holidays here is a good recipe

12 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups superfine sugar
4 cups milk
6 cups well chilled heavy cream
2 cups Bourbon or to taste
1 cup dark rum or to taste
12 large egg whites at room temperature
a pinch of cream of tartar
nutmeg to taste

In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the yolks until they are pale, beat in the sugar, a little at time, and beat the mixture until it is thick and pale. Beat in the milk and 4 cups of the cream and stir in the bourbon and rum. the eggnog may be prepared to this point and kept covered and chilled overnight.
Just before serving, in a bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they are frothy, add the cream of tartar, and beat until they hold soft peaks. In a punch bowl fold the whites into the mixture. In another bowl beat the remaining 2 cups of cream until it holds soft peaks and fold into the eggnog. Sprinkle with nutmeg, drink, pass out.

Happy Holidays!!
