I am nutts over eggnog, I can’t get enough of it, but I do not know where to go to find it in the powder form. If some kind soul could point me to a website or store in texas, then you’d have yourself one happy nogger.

Eggnog is one of the things I miss about holidays in the US, along with pumpkin pie and plum pudding. I once found a powdered eggnog mix in the supermarket here, but it wasn’t the same. Eggnog isn’t usually drunk at breakfast time, though. It’s definitely an evening drink, sort of a wholesome way to get a Christmas buzz.

Just recently stumbled upon your blog and I must admit I find it fascinating.

Yes, traditional eggnog is made raw. I personally believe that “raw” eggnog tastes much better than it’s cooked or heated counterpart. Also, I find that bourbon tastes much better than either brandy or rum. And I wholeheartedly agree that nutmeg is a BIG part of this beverage. Where do you buy your nutmeg by the way? And how do you steep sugar in vanilla bean (if it’s not a secret… hehehe…)? That sounds so delightful.

To take your eggnog a step further, you might wanna try folding in (no need to be too gentle) some whipped egg whites (same number with the yolks — stiff peaks). I personally think it gives more body to the drink, but this maybe just my personal preference.

I’m ashamed to say … I’ve never actually tried eggnog! Was planning to throw a party this year JUST so I could make eggnog but didn’t get around to it.

Isn’t eggnog traditionally made raw though? The salmonella-fearing may have put the “cooked” version in vogue.
