UH OH! I'm in trouble now... potently addictive egg nog!

[ki4got]

Just in time for the holidays... I found a recipe for egg nog.
tried it tonight... scaled down a bit tho or i probaby would drink the whole thing...

This stuff is almost narcotic.

1 Liter Maker’s Mark (bourbon)
1 Quart milk
1 Quart heavy cream
2 Dozen eggs
1 1/2 Cups sugar
Nutmeg for garnish

Separate eggs and beat the yolks until creamy.
Whip sugar into the whites, then beat the whites until they stand in peaks, adding a 1/2 cup of additional sugar if desired.
Beat the yolks and Maker’s Mark together and add the whites.
Beat cream into a froth, then add milk and cream to the egg mixture.
Add nutmeg to taste and garnish each cup with a dash of nutmeg for a dash of color. This recipe makes 2 1/2 gallons.

I'm really floored that the whole thing is raw. I wonder is the bourbon is supposed to protect against any little nasties that might be in the eggs. Since I can't stomach the taste of most alcohol I think I'll decrease the amount of eggs and cook mine just a bit... thanks for the recipe.
