Eggnog

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks, beaten

2 cups milk

1/3 cup sugar

1 cup whipping cream

2 tablespoons light rum

2 tablespoons bourbon

1 teaspoon vanilla

ground nutmeg

*If you like, omit the rum and bourbon and increase the milk to 2 1/4 cups to make this alcohol free ( I have never actually done it with the alcohol, so I don't what the taste difference is but without the alcohol it is yummy.)

In a large heavy saucepan mix the egg yolks, milk and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture just coats a metal spoon. Remove from heat. Place the pan in a sink or bowl of ice water and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in whipping cream, rum, bourbon, and vanilla. cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours. Serve in glasses. Sprinkle each serving with nutmeg.
