Last Christmas I tried eggnog for the craic , just to see what the yanks are always banging on about : listen to me now , eggnog is fucking delicious.

I put it up there with Baileys or something like that, it's very rich and comforting, and I find that it actually soothes your tummy , so gentle and smooth, I love it , and the nutmeg and the spices and all that , mmmmnn man , I wonder why I didn't try this before.

Thing is , I lost the recipe I was using last year, and the thing I liked about it was that it was a really simple recipe , nothing complicated.

Does anybody have a good , simple egg-nog recipe I can use this year?

Thanks.

eggnog is the perfect beginning ... for whatever you want to start 💛💛

nostr:npub1ejvhdkt8ppefezgz0sgnwdqrn8l4z8muws2k8dz2tv0a57ac2z9st56q8x put me onto this recipe a couple years ago and I’ve made it every year since. I’ve experimented with several spirits, and I think my favorite batch was 50/50 dark rum and brandy.

You don’t _need_ to let it age so long, but it does benefit from resting at least a full week.

i was just talking about this tonight.

so so good.

Wtf is half n half?

half milk half cream

If i mixed cream and milk 1:1 that be the same yeah?

Should be, yeah. “Half & Half” is a weird American product, mostly used for adding to coffee.

Wait, half & half is an alien concept in Europe? ☕️🤯

Yeah I believe so. Maybe the Brits have it too?

Nope, I’ve only heard of it from US TV

Well, we don’t have clotted cream here. 😁

It’s very annoying that all milk and cream products in US grocery stores are “ultra pasteurized”

You really have to search to find the good stuff and pay a premium for it. The US supply chain is all about improving shelf life, not human life.

Wife just got back from the store. GFY, Brits! Ultra-Pasteurized FTW! 🤣

lmao yep. I often purchase this “ultra-pasteurized” nonsense (wtf makes it “ultra”?), because the regulatoooors make it hard to buy anything else 🤷‍♂️

Hope it’s not poison
