EggNog

INGREDIENTS

• 8 egg yolks

• 1/3 cup maple syrup

• 2 cups whole milk

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• zest of 1 orange

• 1 cup Switchgrass Rye

• 1/2 cup dark rum

DIRECTIONS

1. Whisk the yolks with the maple syrup until fully combined.

2. Slowly add the milk and cream, whisking gently as you pour.

3. Slowly add the booze, again whisking gently, until incorporated.

4. Whisk in the spices and zest.

5. Refrigerate in a sealed container and fine strain to serve. Eggnog ages beautifully and will continue to develop and thicken for months.

6. To serve, garnish with fresh grated nutmeg and star anise.

If desired, add reserved egg whites to the eggnog for a creamier texture. Just whip the whites until stiff peaks form and fold into the eggnog.
