homemade egg nog
Cheers to homemade, delicious eggnog!
Why I love this recipe:
My husband absolutely loves traditional eggnog, but I prefer to skip the supermarket options filled with added sugars and "natural flavors." This homemade version uses raw honey for natural sweetness, whole milk, and cream for beneficial fats, while fresh egg yolks add protein and vitamins. You can still enjoy this classic holiday treat without any guilt!
Kids will love this treat for breakfast or an after-school high protein snack, and it’s perfect to enjoy all winter long! Make this festive winter drink the way it was supposed to be enjoyed!
Things to Note:
Because it uses raw eggs, make sure you get your eggs from a reputable source.
ingredients:
whole milk (raw milk if possible)
heavy cream
vanilla extract
raw honey
organic pastured egg yolks
nutmeg to taste
*You can make meringues with the leftover egg whites
