EGG NOG

When I was a tiny little girl, my mama always made me "Egg Nogs" to drink because I never liked a glass of milk. She did not cook the eggs and I am still living. Her recipe was like the RECIPE #2, but she did not put nutmeg in her mixture. It's totally your choice of taste.

RECIPE #1

EGG NOG
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 quart milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Preparation:
Beat eggs, sugar and salt together in a saucepan. Stir in half the milk (2 cups). On low heat, cook until mixture is thick and thinly coats a spoon. Make sure to stir constantly. Remove from heat and mix in the last of the milk and the vanilla. Cover and chill overnight. Serve eggnog with a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon.
CAUTION: Be VERY careful as you cook as it could become lumpy and nasty - STIR CONSTANTLY!!!
