Only my 2nd time making eggnog, 1st time w/o cooking the eggs. Initially thought 7C of milk and 3C of cream was way too much bc when I tasted it without the alcohol it was way too milk heavy and I thought I'd have to add a heck of a lot of sugar to enjoy it. However after refrigerating if for a few hours, the alcohol (used whiskey) helped it immensely IMO. I really also enjoyed the delicious foam on top. As another review mentioned earlier, recommended times for beating the egg whites/yolks would've made this recipe easier. But there's a good chance I'll make again ??Reply
