This recipe is perfect for those looking to start the morning relaxed or if you wake up feeling a little anxious about your to-do list. Simply grab some of that cannabis oil, and let’s infuse some holiday cheer into your cup! Join me on this journey to create a morning beverage that's not just a drink but an experience. Let's make this holiday season extra cozy and uplifting, one sip at a time.
What is Eggnog?
Eggnog, a beloved holiday classic, is more than just a creamy concoction; it's a sip of tradition and comfort. At its core, eggnog is a luscious beverage crafted from a blend of milk, cream, sugar, and beaten eggs. Its origins trace back to medieval Britain, where a hot, ale-based concoction called "posset" was spiked with eggs and eventually evolved into the creamy libation we know today.
Make Your Own Eggnog At Home
Making eggnog at home involves:
Whisking together egg yolks and sugar until they achieve a pale, velvety consistency.
To this mixture, warm milk is added slowly, creating a base enriched with heavy cream.
The final touch is a sprinkle of nutmeg, adding a warm and festive aroma.
This process not only yields a decadent drink but also carries a sense of nostalgia, evoking memories of cozy gatherings and cherished moments around the hearth. So, as you embark on the journey of making your eggnog, remember that each frothy sip is a sip into history, tradition, and the heartwarming embrace of the holiday season.
Substitutions
When it comes to crafting your own infused beverages at home, the possibilities for personalization are as vast as your creativity allows. Here are some substitutions you can make from home.
