UK: Starbucks Egg Nog Latte

[arkitect]

We just don't get egg nog over here.

That's because you are supposed to make it fresh yourself!

Give this a go and give the canned stuff a miss:

140ml/5fl oz of dark or Demerara rum such as Woods 100 (Not Light)
5 large eggs, yolks only
1 large egg, white only
200ml/7fl oz single cream
584ml/1 pint 1fl oz whole milk
1 pinch nutmeg
4 tsp soft brown sugar
To garnish
cinnamon bark, cassia bark or cinnamon sticks

1. Start by bringing the milk in a pan gently to boiling point while whisking occasionally to prevent burning.
2. While the milk is heating separate the eggs. Place the five yolks and one white into a blender.
3. As soon as the milk is almost boiling, remove from the heat and start the blender, pour the milk over the eggs while blending and blend for around 10 seconds then let to cool for one minute.
4. Add the cream and nutmeg and blend for five seconds.
5. Add the rum and blend briefly to mix.
6. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve in tea-glasses or small cups.

Thanks but I have tried making it myself a couple of times... once following an American friends tried and trusted recipe... just don't like it. Sorry!

Maybe try mixing it half-and-half with some good coffee?

That looks comparable to what my parents make. I guess I'll give it a shot this year.
