@Regrann from @sc_historical_society - Looking for a good eggnog recipe to use this holiday season? Dr. Seaman Deas has you covered with his circa 1850 recipe for brandy-infused eggnog (though, as he notes, peach brandy is his choice): To one gallon of milk take three dozen eggs, break the yolks in a pan and the whites on a large dish, the yolks to be beaten well with as much sugar as judged sufficient,* when light pour in slowly four tumblers of brandy (stirring fast meanwhile). Add the milk slowly, and grate a nutmeg in. Beat the whites to a stiff froth and put on top. A tablespoonful of peach brandy is an improvement. *about one teaspoonful of [powdered] sugar to each egg #eggnog #holidaydrinks #historicrecipes - #regrann
