Adnams’ Egg Nog
Eggnog is a problem when you’re lactose intolerant – but not if you make it yourself with lactose free milk! It’s not that hard and you get a much better result than buying the commercial version. Give this a try:
Heat but do not boil:
3 cups milk (regular or lactose reduced)
1/2 cup sugar
Mix together and whisk into milk:
2 beaten eggs
1 T. cornstarch
1/4 cup milk
Continue to heat through over low heat, stirring, for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in:
1 cup cold milk
1/2 t. vanilla
1 cinnamon stick
nutmeg/spices to taste
Chill before serving.
To serve:
Version I: pour into glass or mugs with optional whipped cream and sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
Version II: Add a shot of rum or brandy to glass or mug, and fill with Eggnog – stir well.
