Holiday Egg-nog’in

This is a Firefighter/Friday Crew approved drink.

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 quart light cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup brandy
• 1.5 cups bourbon or spiced rum
• freshly grated nutmeg

Preparation:

1. In large bowl, beat eggs until they are a pale yellow and slightly frothy.
2. Add sugar, cream, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until well blended.
3. Add brandy and bourbon/rum (or milk, see below) and stir.
4. Transfer to large pitcher and chill until cold, at least 3 hours.
5. Serve with sprinkle of nutmeg.

This makes a gallon, give or take. If you’d rather make it without the alcohol, replace it with 2.5 cups of milk (whole or 2% works best). Either way, it won’t be healthy, but it’s good!
