OK. It's not raw egg like at all. It's rich and creamy. Without the added liquor that's what it tastes like, rich and creamy. If you add brandy, or whatever of course the flavor then has that added.

Usually, there are spices like cinnamon and or nutmeg added to the blend. I like to grate fresh nutmeg on the top of each serving.

It's one of those things that if you like eggs and cream, what's not to like? If you don't like one or the other, or both then you won't like it.

However, some folks do object to the consistency as it is thick (various degrees of thickness, from a thick milk based drink, to some that are so thick you really need the added liquor to thin it enough to drink it). However, if you like a true milkshake, you won't have problems with consistency.

Do not be confused by those sorry drinks that use other than whole milk and cream. There is nothing diet friendly about proper eggnog! It was once used in treatment of the sick, given the properties (and the medical beliefs at the time).

I like custard, and don't find eggnog to taste like that at all.

thank you for explaining that Tink, I may try it....but I'm not sure yet!

Do you drink it warm or cold?

[Tink]

Cold! (I can't imagne warm eggnog. THAT would be gross)!

[mumof2]

so if i made the cooked one i'd let it cool before drinking presumably

[Tink]

Yes. Although I've not made a cooked version, I would imagine you'd have to strain it (to be absolutely certain there were no bits of cooked egg ) and chill it before serving.

I was thinking about trying it till I read this blech
