Happy Healthy Hollidays with this Eggnog Recipe
by Hans Dekker
When it is holiday time, only one drink comes to mind: Eggnog.
This healthy drink recipe is delicious and it uses soymilk instead of
whole milk. It gets a completely new flavor and color with the addition of
peppermint oil.
A drink fills up your tummy just before you hit the sack. Serve it warm
and you will be on your way to sleepy town.
Now you can dream away while Santa does his magic.
First, take your 4 eggs and put the egg whites into a bowl and the egg
yolks into a bowl.
Put a half a cup of white sugar into each egg bowl. Beat each egg bowl
slightly.
Add the heavy cream gradually to the egg whites. Keep whipping this
mixture. Add vanilla to this egg bowl. Now in one medium sized bowl,
combine both of the egg mixtures.
Slowly add the soymilk. Continue stirring while you are adding the milk.
Eggnog would not be complete without using some ground nutmeg. This recipe
adds it right into the mix and not just as a garnish on top.
This recipe also uses more spices than just traditional nutmeg. Now add
ground cinnamon and pumpkin spice to the mixing bowl. Keep whipping the
eggnog. Now time for a special addition to ordinary eggnog.
Add one tablespoon of peppermint oil. This gives regular eggnog more of a
Christmas flavor.
Chill your eggnog in the refrigerator before serving. After it has
chilled, pour the eggnog into a holiday punch bowl. Add a dash of ground
nutmeg on top and a dollop of fat free whip cream before serving a glass
to one your guests.
