Nogs
Feel like something creamy? Photo: Bamboo BCN
Eggnog, the creamy concoction sold in most American supermarkets this time of year is actually descended from a hot British drink called 'posset', made from milk and eggs with ale or wine. Nog, as most of you should know, is actually British slang for strong ale. Halt cultural imperialism! Reclaim your heritage with the recipe below. Have you subscribed?

Rich Eggnog
Serves 8
11/2 pint of milk
11/2 pint of cream
Half a bottle of brandy
Half a cup of rum (pour freely)
A cup of sugar
4 table spoons of icing sugar
6 large eggs
Nutmeg to taste

Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks slowly whilst adding the sugar until the mixture is pale and golden. Now slowly add in the brandy and rum, then beat in the milk and half the cream. Set aside until just before serving.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture. Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar until thick. Serve the mixture in festive glasses. Top each glass with whipped cream and a little freshly grated nutmeg.

If you're not the kind of person who swallows (rich creamy substances), there are more festive drinks recipes online at www.epicurious.com and www.thefoody.com.

Happy holidays.
