Special Recipe Note:
These items are what make this Heat Healthy Eggnog seem like the real McCoy.
If you do not use them, the end results WILL NOT BE THE SAME.
Make sure to use a frozen egg substitute rather than a powdered or other substitute as the results will not be the same.
Make sure you freshly grate your nutmeg. It tastes 100% better.
This eggnog is made using pasteurized eggs, so has the added advantage of being safe for the elderly, children, or those with compromised immunity (Lupus survivors) with no danger of salmonella poisoning from raw eggs. I prefer brown, open range chicken eggs, but that is just my preference.
If you want to make your Eggnog an Adult Eggnog…just add the liquor of your choice. I like Captain Morgans’ Dark Rum.
This is the perfect low car holiday eggnog…for a Thanksgiving Eggnog or a Christmas Eggnog.
This Heart Healthy Eggnog stores well for up to 8 hours, but after that it starts to lose some of the thickness and body that makes for a great heart health eggnog…so drink up or use in your pancake recipe the following morning. It will give your pancakes a great flavor and no waste. It can also be used in cake, cupcake and bundt cakes. Let’s streeeeeeeeeetch that dollar, Baby Boomers.

Where do you get brown, open range pasteurized eggs?
I use white pasteurized shell eggs — Davidson’s to be exact. The color of the eggshell means nothing, except that it was laid by a brown hen. And an open range chicken would be more likely (because of its indescriminate diet), I would think, to have salmonella bacteria and pass it along.
