Eggnog
"Like Grandma's"
Serves Yield: 2 1/2 quarts, 8 - 10 servings | Prep Time 15 minutes | Cook TimeWhy I Love This Recipe
We always knew we had transitioned to true holiday merriment when Mom broke out the eggnog. We were a non-drinking family so we got our rum in the flavoring only, but it was always a time to break out the German tureen and grog glasses. No matter how you felt about the flavor, you had to admire the pageantry and presentation involved in making the holiday eggnog.
