Eggnog For Two

IMG_0014
I was going to make myself some homemade hot chocolate but decided to experiment with eggs instead. Here is my very easy, very fast (10 min), eggnog recipe:

2 1/2 coffee cups of milk, warmed up in a pot

a few tablespoons of sugar, sweeten to your taste

sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg (grated whole nutmeg is best)

a few drips of vanilla (its precious stuff here so have use sparingly)

2 eggs beat well in the coffee cup you already used (no need making more dishes)

Add the Vanilla to the eggs. Add the sugar and spices to the milk as it warms up. Be careful not to let it boil or you will get that yucky skim on top. Use a whisk to keep it moving. When it is almost scalding, slowly pour some into the coffee cup with the eggs while you quickly stir with a fork. I did it twice, a little milk at a time till the cup was almost full. Then, slowly pour the egg mixture into the pot and whisk briskly until almost boiling. It will create a bit of foam on top. Ladle out and sprinkle with more grated nutmeg. Serve and enjoy!
