Hot Nog Recipe
Sometimes you just need to heat things up! While our classic eggnog is served cold, this one is extra hot. It’s basically like melted ice cream, and while that might seem off-putting to some, we suggest you try it out before you say anything you can’t take back. Consider a more alcoholic custard or a classic vanilla custard sauce. Not bad is not it ?
Just be sure to slowly stir the hot milk into the eggs, so the ingredients combine without cooking the yolks.
