homemade egg nogg?

[bryan8]

Anyone got a recipe? And is it safe to use like fresh raw eggs?

Tiny's Nog

4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 quart half and half
2 T. rum extract (optional)
freshly grated nutmeg

Beat eggs. Cook eggs, sugar, and half and half over medium/low heat until mixture coats the back of a metal spoon. Stir in extract. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.

I usually serve it as is for the kids and let the adults add their antifreeze of choice to their own glasses.

Cool thanks I'll give it a try.

What's the best antifreeze to put in it? Rum?

We especially like MissPrissy's kids version of eggnog, as we don't drink alcohol here. It's very good!

I'm going with that too. I worried about store bought eggs and home made eggnog, because I figured that the egg could have been hanging around breding bacteria for who knows how long... and I KNOW that MY girls' eggs haven't had a chance to make a raw egg death bomb yet. ohh, still warm...
and this is cooked as well !
My loves eggnog. And I can't stand the store bought gelatinous stuff. Thanks for this! I am making some Saturday! Just because I can. writing out the recipe now.

I've been toying with the idea of making my own 'nog this year as well. Never done it before.. it doesn't look *too*hard.

How do you think it would taste with duck eggs? I've heard they're richer, and I used them for some cookies last weekend. Then my daughter smashed the 3 I had in the fridge, so I haven't had a chance to make anything else

opinions?

First time I had eggnog was homemade but with store bought eggs. This year I am making it with home eggs. I always thought egg nog in store was yucky too that is why I never drank it.

I absolutely adore egg nog. We just had some last week that was pumpkin egg nog..yum.......

HOMEMADE EGGNOG!!!!!

Why didn't I think of that? I have all these eggs and need other things to do with them besides scrambled, hardboiled, or over-easy.
