Egg Nog Recipe

Egg Nog

4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
¼ t. salt
6 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract

In a saucepan, stir together 2 cups of the milk, the sugar and salt. Heat to just below a boil. In the meantime, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. When the milk mixture is hot, slowly pour into the eggs while whisking. Return the mixture to the pan and continue to heat, stirring constantly until thick enough to coat a spoon, it should be just under a boil, about 180 degrees, do not let it boil. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the remaining 2 cups of milk and the vanilla extract. Transfer to a pitcher. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Note: if the eggs scrambled a little bit, don’t panic. Either use an immersion blender to smooth it out or give it a whirl in your blender.
