Also known as egg milk punch, eggnog is a popular drink throughout the United States during the holidays. basically made by mixing cream, milk, sugar, and whipped eggs to create a frothy texture...The origins of this sweet Christmas drink are highly debated. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘nog’ was used to describe a type of strong beer brewed in England. Others argue that eggnog was developed as a beverage in medieval Europe, using piping hot milk....or it could possibly also have been a spin-off of the once-popular drink enjoyed by the British called posset. Made using curdled milk mixed with wine, it was often used for medicinal purposes. In America...liquor is often added to the eggnog. Many people prefer brandy, rum, whiskey, bourbon, or vodka....but it's totally customizable. Eggnog also flavors other holiday treats, too. For example, you can find eggnog flavored coffees, teas, baked goods, and puddings.
