Rob's Plain Old Eggnog
- 14 medium eggs
- 1 12 tablespoons good quality vanilla extract
- 1 14 cups sugar, sifted
- 1 quart whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 14 cup cognac
- 14 cup brandy
- 18 cup dark rum
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Separate the eggs: keep all the yolks and 7 of the whites (reserve the leftover whites for another recipe).
- Place the egg yolks in a electric mixing bowl and beat at high speed until frothy.
- Still beating, add the sugar 1/4 cup at a time; beat until the sugar has fully dissolved and the egg mixture has thickened.
- Move egg mixture to a large serving or punch bowl and whisk in the milk, cognac, brandy, rum, vanilla and nutmeg.
- In the mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until thickened; fold the whipped cream into the mixture in the punch bowl.
- In another dry (make sure it's dry!)
- mixing bowl, whisk 7 egg whites until they firmly hold a peak; fold whites into the mixture in the punch bowl.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes and then serve immediately.
- Notes: the nog will only sit for six hours, so you can't make it too far in advance; for an extra kick double the alcohol content; also, make sure to let your guests know that this contains raw eggs, as pregnant women are advised to not partake of such.
