Eggnog
Eggnog
Eggnog (pronounced: /ˈɛɡˌnɒɡ/), also known as egg milk punch, is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based beverage traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks.
Etymology
The term "eggnog" is a compound of the words "egg" and "nog". The first part of the term, "egg", is self-explanatory, referring to the beverage's primary ingredient. The origin of "nog" is less clear, but it is believed to derive from "noggin", a Middle English term for a small, carved wooden mug used to serve alcohol.
Ingredients
Eggnog traditionally includes milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks. Some variations of the recipe may also include alcohol, such as rum, brandy, or bourbon. Non-alcoholic versions of eggnog are also popular.
