Just in time for Christmas, John’s has an eggnog recipe tip, sourced from his wife Mimi’s book, Too Many Eggs. Here at No Agenda Fun, we’ve made the more basic uncooked versions where you fold in the egg whites and it is amazing! If you like a cooked version that’s refrigerated before serving follow this recipe:

Classic Cooked Eggnog

6 eggs, beaten
¼ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cinnamon stick
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon allspice
½ cup alcohol (more or less, to taste)

In saucepan add beaten eggs, salt, and cinnamon stick to 2 cups milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160°F. Do not allow milk to boil! Mixture will thicken slightly. Remove from heat, and stir in remaining 2 cups milk and vanilla extract. Stir in ground nutmeg and allspice. Pour into coverable container, and refrigerate overnight. Before serving add rum, whiskey, or other alcohol.
