Egg Nog Recipe

I want to share with all my fellow FReepers the recipe for what is probably the the greatest egg nog recipe ever. If you are a non drinker, move along, there is nothing to see here. If you are a drinker, even a heavy one, be very careful with this. It is a first cousin to rocket fuel.
Warning: this is a pain in the neck to make. It will take you a long time, about an hour and a half, but the results are well worth it. You will even make converts out of prople who are not egg nog fans.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
PS: Cheese goes very well with this. Also, put a small amount in a cup, and put it on your front porch. It may attract a Christmas moose or two.
Dr. Grafton Tyler's Egg Nog
First made in Washington, DC, circa 1903
Ingredients:
1 Qt Whipping Cream
1 Qt Bourbon Whiskey (bourbon, not sour mash)
1 Pt Whole Milk
1 Pt Brandy
1 Punch cup Rum
1 lb Pulverized sugar (Instant Dissolving)
12 Eggs
Makes about 1 1/2 gallons
Preparation:
1 Separate yolks & whites
2 Beat yolks until very light
3 Beat into the yolks, a little at a time, the sugar
4 Add slowly, the whiskey, brandy, & rum
5 Then add the milk
6 Then the whites of the eggs, beaten very stiff
7 Cream must be thick & beaten until as light as eggs, add last & mix thoroughly
Addendum:
Make it a at least a week-10 days before consuming. Let it sit in the ice box; give it a shake daily so the flavors meld.
It seems to last a long time. My wife gives a bottle to her hairdresser, and a couple of years ago she said she drank her last cup on tax day!
1 Punch cup Rum
I like Rocket Fuel.
Southern nog....similar to mine we’ve literally had in family since JQ Adams was president
Most here have no clue
Though I did just see someone from Jersey who gets it
Carton nog not is like comparing box wine to Bordeaux
Or Bud Lite to Sam Adams
