Egg Nog and Real Tree

 Our annual batch of Egg Nog is bottled and in the ice box, aging its way to Christmas.

Christmas Tree and Egg Nog
 

It's based on "General George Washington's Recipe" which I first saw a couple years ago on "Tasting History" with Max Miller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bsHOxQtBW4

The recipe is also available here: https://www.almanac.com/george-washingtons-christmas-eggnog


But my concoction also has a pinch of good old Alton Brown's take from "Good Eats".

I mean, ya gotta have some nutmeg!

 

What makes this batch extra special is that we'll be enjoying it this year in front of the very first REAL tree I've ever had for Christmas -- extra, extra special because the tree came from Casper Mountain.
