The recipe for a homemade egg nog, the spicy egg nog. With a Dutch twist. It's a recipe with alcohol, that's super easy and really delicious.
Do you know the feeling? Again and again you see the same dish. Every where you look. And my tasting pupils want to try it. I've ran in to it. Around Christmas time all the English / American blogs go on egg-nog. A traditional drink that's made and drank at Christmas time. I thought that could be a sign. I should make that!
Unfortenately we can't buy ready-made egg-nog. But we've got something similar as I look at the ingredients that are being used in the egg-nog. It's called advocaat around here. So I took that as a base. I added spices, seasoning and some other great stuf. And the result... very nice (I've put the remainder in the refrigerator to taste with our friends tonight). I always like to start our dinner party with a cocktail and this will be the right one for this evening!
- Dip the top of the glass in a bit of egg nog and then in fine sugar. The sugar rim will get the same golden shine as the drink and that looks beautiful.
- Freshly grated nutmeg gots so much more flavor as the already grounded sort. So if you can get it, buy a whole nutmeg and grate it when needed in dishes.
- If you don't have Kahlua, you can use Tia Maria, Sheridan's or any other coffee Licor.
- If you want even more Winter flavors substitute cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with 3 teaspoons gingerbread spices.
- Do you have some leftover egg nog? Use it to prepare a pudding, ice cream, and cake. Or you can use it for flavoring a cup of coffee or in a milkshake.
Preparation and storage
- you can store this egg nog 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- don't freeze you're egg nog because the structure will change.
