Christmas Eggnog

Christmas is here and for the first time this season I made my favourite Christmas recipe.
Eggnog!!
We had our staff Christmas party on the weekend and I had to make my special drink for everyone to drink. As always it was a hit!
Where ever I go at this time of the year I am asked to bring this with me. As you can tell I am hooked on Eggnog :)

EGGNOG

6 Eggs
1 cup of Castor sugar
1&1/2 litres of milk
600ml thickened cream
1 cup of Brandy
1 cup of Rum (optional)
Nutmeg

1. Separate eggs, set aside egg whites and add Castor sugar to the yolks, beat for around five minutes or until it is light in colour and creamy.
2. Slowly beat in Rum and Brandy (I never add Rum). Then slowly beat in milk and cream
3. Beat egg whites in separate bowl until they form a peak and then fold in to milk and cream mixture.
4. Dust with nutmeg and chill before serving. of coarse Eggnog is yummy served warm but in the hot Australian climate it is lovely served cold.
