Eggnog has been around for a millennium and has been associated with the holidays ever since it hopped the pond. It’s creamy, thick and rich. It’s also full of enough bourbon to give everybody the spice of holiday joy. Normally you have to start this months in advance to allow it to thicken and mellow out. I’m going to be doing it Sous Vide, heating it to a precise temperature to activate the lecithin in the egg yolks to thicken it, but not scramble it, also allowing the bourbon to mellow out, and having it ready right away rather than a few months!

      When it’s done, just place it in the fridge overnight. It’s ready right away, but if you let it sit for another week, the alcohol will mellow out. Top with a little fresh grated nutmeg for garnish and enjoy! It’s sweet, rich, creamy and has enough kick to give anybody the holiday spirit!
