you know when I was growing up it just
0:11
wanting Christmas at our house without
0:13
some of my mama's eggnog it's a
0:15
tradition that I couldn't help but
0:17
continue myself and it's really very
0:20
very simple we're gonna start by
0:22
separating our eggs and it seems as long
0:27
you can always find some friends around
0:29
that are willing to share it with you it
0:31
just gives a wonderful spirit of
0:34
Christmas in your kitchen I'm going to
0:36
start on a ring and while these are
0:39
whipping up I'm gonna add sugar to our
0:41
yolks and I'm just gonna whip those
0:44
until they're kind of creamy
0:51
all we have to do to assemble our eggnog
0:54
is fold in sweetened whipped cream
0:57
look how luscious that cream is and
1:00
always remember to take your spatula to
1:02
the bottom of your bowl up and over
1:05
because we want to disturb that whipped
1:07
cream as little as possible all right
1:10
now the next thing we're going to do is
1:12
fold in these beautiful egg whites that
1:14
we've gotten to the fluffiest of stage
1:18
see those egg whites there perfect and
1:21
I'm so thrilled about this because
1:23
actually it's raining outside today so
1:26
there's a lot of humidity and moisture
1:28
in there and I was really concerned that
1:30
my whites might not do right for me and
1:33
we're going to do the same thing with
1:34
those that we did with the whipping
1:36
cream if we just got real impatient just
1:39
started stirring and beating madly this
1:42
would fall on us and we want it as
1:43
fluffy and light and delectable as we
1:46
can make it when I was a teenager mother
1:50
would let me taste it with the Bourbon
1:52
and I thought that was really something
1:55
all right we're there and now I'm gonna
1:58
add some vanilla to just regular milk
2:02
I'm gonna add about a teaspoon and I'm
2:06
just gonna pour this in to all of those
2:11
exquisite eggs and one more time we're
2:15
going to fold your eggnog well I have
2:17
almost two different layers because
2:19
after we finish this we're going to put
2:20
it in the freezer and the top will just
2:23
make this wonderful crystally beaten
2:26
cream and the bottom will have your
2:28
liquid which will be our milk and a
2:32
all right we've saved the best for last
2:34
and that's the nog and we're gonna add
2:37
about 1/2 a cup but if you're dead set
2:41
on a little bit more at it and my
2:43
mother's eggnog continues to live I'm
2:46
gonna go ahead and slip this in the
2:47
freezer now and let it get ice crystally
2:50
cold and I'm gonna wait for somebody to
2:52
come have a glass with me
2:59
I'm putting the final touch of fresh
3:02
nutmeg on the eggnog and I've gotten
