Non-Alcoholic Egg Nog

It's just us on this one, kiddos! Daddy doesn't do egg nog, but it just isn't Christmas without it. This is the first egg nog recipe I've ever tried and I love it so much and I'm so satisfied with the healthfulness of the ingredients that there's no need to look any further. I found the recipe here and modified it to meet our needs and tastes.

Ingredients

3 eggs yolks (from local, pastured chickens only - do not eat store bought eggs raw!)
1/4 cup grade B maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Nutmeg, to taste
Ground cloves, to taste
Splash of vanilla
1 Tbsp whey (optional)
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 cup non-homogenized whole milk (from pastured cows)
1 cup cream (from pastured cows)

Directions

1. Put the egg yolks in a one quart mason jar and blend them with a stick blender until thick.

2. Add the syrup, salt, spices, vanilla, whey, and lemon juice and blend some more.

3. Add the milk and cream and blend some more!

4. Store the egg nog in the mason jar in the fridge and shake it up before serving. Try not to drink it all at once!

MOM TIP

Save your egg whites for Meringues!
