Ingredients
- 4 cups milk 1 cup sugar 12 large egg yolks 1/2 cup bourbon, (optional) 1 cup chilled heavy cream Grated nutmeg, (optional)
Directions
In medium saucepan, whisk milk and sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks. Whisking constantly, pour hot mixture into yolks in a slow and steady stream.
Return mixture to pan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, 20 to 25 minutes; do not let simmer. Quickly strain into a bowl. Stir in bourbon, if desired, and cream. Cool completely; cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled. Garnish with nutmeg, if desired.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/03/2015 I am an avid viewer of Martha's cooking lessons and have experienced excellent results (except when I screw up sometimes), Anyone who watches Martha regularly will notice that she "strains" everything - mainly to eliminate "lumps" and such - including the dry components (sifting that is). Her recipes are consistantly smooth & of excellent texture. With the price of Egg Nog soaring - I've decided to return to my past & make my own again (I got lazy in my old age). I'll get back on this! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/03/2015 This is a very odd, and stupid recipe. 'Cause you know what happens when egg's, or for that matter, egg yolks are heated over fire for ~20 min? They become solid. Very awful recipe. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/25/2014 Could this recipe be any more unhealthy? Heavy cream AND milk. Sugar. Alcohol. And artery-clogging egg yolks. Yuck! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/04/2013 I made one of Martha's earlier Eggnog recipes and it was fabulous, but it was back in the days when raw eggs were still ok so I haven't made it since. But, I recall that the recipe called for whipping the heavy cream and folding it in the chilled eggnog. I think I added a little vanilla when I whipped the heavy cream. The end result was a thicker mixture and it was frothy and so luscious in the punch bowl. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/05/2013 How could I make this recipe thicker ? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/04/2013 This is the best eggnog recipe ever. I made it a long time ago and lost it and have been looking for it ever since. I added rum and it was so good it did not last in the fridge for long. Thank you Martha.!!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/18/2010 Is eggnog usually served cold? Sorry for asking a silly question, but I'm used to drinking it in my coffee! Can you heat it up before drinking? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/25/2007 Believe me, this will not stay in the Refrigerator long, as it will be "gone". Try Peppermint Eggnog for the kids. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/16/2007 I used rum and gin insted of bourbon. And it was amazing Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/14/2007 Wouldn't this taste even better with some vanilla? The Party Fairy Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/12/2007 I'm sure you strain it to remove any solidified egg, to keep the drink smooth. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 12/12/2007 how long can you keep this in the fridge and why is it "strained"?Martha Stewart Member

I am an avid viewer of Martha’s cooking lessons and have experienced excellent results (except when I screw up sometimes), Anyone who watches Martha regularly will notice that she “strains” everything - mainly to eliminate “lumps” and such - including the dry components (sifting that is). Her recipes are consistantly smooth & of excellent texture. With the price of Egg Nog soaring - I’ve decided to return to my past & make my own again (I got lazy in my old age).

I’m sure you strain it to remove any solidified egg, to keep the drink smooth.
how long can you keep this in the fridge and why is it “strained”?
