Instructions to prepare Eggnog

Step One:

Separate yolks and egg whites in different bowls. Cover the whites and refrigerate them until required. Start adding the sugar to the yolks and whisk nicely with a mixer until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lightened to a lemon-yellow colour.

Step Two:

Add the milk, cream, and liquor (if using) and whisk until mixed. Cover the bowl properly and refrigerate it for at least an hour. The more liquor you add, the longer it will stay. Non-alcoholic eggnog should be consumed within a day. If a person is adding half to 1 cup of liquor, it will keep the eggnog last for several days. The more alcohol the longer it will last. But, do not completely make it an alcoholic drink.

Step Three:

Before serving the dessert, whisk the reserved egg whites in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer at high speed until the whites form stiff peaks. Transfer the whisked egg whites to the bowl with the eggnog and start mixing the whites into the base. This gives the eggnog a light and extra-creamy texture. Some of the egg whites will also float to the top, like foam. Transfer the eggnog to a pitcher or punch bowl. Serve in individual glasses with a grating of nutmeg over top.
