Healthy Eggnog
December 4, 2021 • 0 comments
Eggnog is a very old fashioned drink. Usually used as medicine, it's now a well known fancy holiday beverage. Store-bought options are loaded with additives, a ridiculous amount of sugar, and less than 2% egg yolks, plus doesn't taste good at all! Why not make it at home with healthy farm-direct ingredients? After all, it's quick and easy and festive!
Plus almost all the ingredients are available from our Farm, so you support the Cows and Chickens with every ounce you drink!

Tips:
To get a fuller eggnog: beat the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Then add the other ingredients.
To get a frothy eggnog: beat 4 egg whites until soft peaks form. Then stir into your finished eggnog.
To be extra festive: serve topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. And, hey, why not add a candy cane, too?
