Egg Nog

After you make egg nog yourself you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with that gooey yellow stuff in the carton. It only takes a couple of minutes and there are only a couple of ingredients. To make two servings you’ll need:

• about a cup of heavy cream
• 2 eggs
• about a tablespoon of honey
• nutmeg
• booze, such as whiskey, bourbon…or Armagnac

Whisk the eggs until they’re very fluffy, then whisk in the honey and booze (which you can pretend will kill any salmonella in the eggs). Folding in the cream may maintain the fluffiness, but I usually just whisk that in too, along with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Pour it into some glasses, grate on a little more nutmeg, and enjoy!
