Fascinating! I just looked it up on wikipedia and while my Spanish is a little rusty, it sounds very similar. It sounds like it’s a beverage only consumed in latin america, so I wonder if it developed independently or if it had its roots in Europe.

My mother-in-law (from Lima, Peru) called this Caspiroleta — a sure cure for the flu! Your method by using a blender makes it so much easier. I can’t wait to try it with the nutmeg. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe was great! Thank you! My boyfriend loved it! However, I added extra nutmeg into the egg nog mixture and sprinkled cinammon on top instead of the nutmeg.
Thank you for your recipe!

You can really use just about any alcohol, but traditionally it’s made with Rum or Brandy. Personally I like using Scotch Whiskey or Bourbon. As for the cream, it’s the pourable kind of cream (not clotted). Hope that helps!

I’m not a food safety expert so I’m not going to say what you should or shouldn’t do with your eggs, but in areas where the eggs aren’t washed, there’s a protective membrane called a cuticle that keeps bacteria from entering the egg, so many people leave their eggs unrefrigerated. In the US all eggs sold commercially must be washed, so unless you have chickens in your back yard you probably won’t find an unwashed egg.

Not sure where you’re based, but in the US eggs need to
be refrigerated because they’ve had the protective membranes stripped off of them by pressure washers before they’re sold.

I’ve been trying to find a quick, simple recipe for warm egg nog. I’m afraid yours has too much verbiage. I have no idea what you mean by “bring 2 eggs up to room temperature”. I keep my eggs at room temp all the time! You do not say how many servings this recipe makes. I skipped all the bumph about Thanksgiving. I just want to know how to make a good warm egg nog! Sorry, thumbs down on this.

Half and half is a 50/50 mixture of milk and cream. If you live in the US,
you should be able to pick up a pint of half and half at any supermarket.

Not sure if you get it out in the UK, but “half and half” is a mixture
of half cream and half milk that they sell here in the US to add to
coffee and tea. You can make it yourself by mixing milk and cream.
