eggnog?

[spughy]

I seem to recall someone posted an eggnog recipe using maple syrup... I can't find it now. Anyone?

I haven't seen that one, but I posted one this morning using honey, you could sub maple easily enough.

Thanks, I just saw your recipe after I posted.

I was kind of looking for raw everything though... I think I'll just make a stab at it without an actual recipe. That usually works for me. Milk, eggs, something sweet, something boozy, spice. How hard can it be?

TF Eggnog

1/2 cup raw milk
1/2 cup raw cream or heavy cream
2 egg yolks
vanilla extract or powder to taste
nutmeg to taste
maple syrup or stevia to taste

Put everything in the blender and serve fresh.

You can also try adding a banana (in which case you won't need any other sweetener) and you might try a bit of cinnamon too.

Celtic Eggnog
Here's a recipe from one of my fave cookbooks, "Celtic Folklore Cooking" by Joanne Asala.

Eggnog (serves 8)

3 eggs, separated
6 tbsp sugar, divided
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup rum or brandy
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3 egg whites
ground nutmeg or cinnamon

Separate eggs. Set egg whites in a metal bowl and place in the refrigerator. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until blended. Gradually add 3 tbsp of sugar, beating at high speed until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in the milk, rum or brandy, vanilla, and salt. Place egg yolk mixture in refrigerator to chill thoroughly, about 2 hours.

Whip the cream. Remove the egg whites from the refrigerator and beat until soft peaks form (if using same beaters, make sure they are thoroughly washed). Add remaining sugar, beating the mixture into stiff peaks. Fold yolk mixture and whipped cream into egg whites. Serve immediately with a dash or nutmeg or cinnamon.

Just made this - yummy thanks! Only we had to use buttermilk because we didn't have any heavy cream. It's still good, just a bit less thick. We used agave nectar to sweeten it, but then decided it just didn't taste quite right without sugar - so added a bit of sugar also.
