Keech Egg Nog

Sorry People...No Rum in this one.

Also, this is NOT a thick beverage. It ends up more like a thinner, foamy, creamy milkshake. It is as close as I've actually come to a REAL recipe for my MIL's Egg Nog, so I'm writing it down. This way, I can re-create it again, along with anyone else who loves this style of Egg Nog.

8 eggs, separated
2/3 C sugar
4 C milk (whole or 2%)
2 C half & half
1-1/2 Tbs vanilla
2 C heavy whipping cream
cinnamon to taste
nutmeg to taste
dash of salt

Beat egg yolks until thick & lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in milk, half & half, and vanilla.

Whip cream until light & fluffy. Whisk into egg yolk mixture.

Add a dash of salt to egg whites & beat until they stand in peaks. Fold into egg mixture.

Add cinnamon & nutmeg to taste. Add more sugar to taste. Enjoy!

Any of the dairy measuremnts can be adjusted, but the total should be about 8 cups - i.e. 6 cups of milk & 2 of cream if you omit the half & half.
