Eggnog for Adults

My MIL ....aka Oma.... used to make this. It is served in small cordial glasses.
I should have posted this earlier but I just thought of it while testing this seasons batch.

It needs to sit bottled for a few weeks................but worth the wait =)

EIERLIKÖR
(Egg Liquer)

2 cups milk...Or cream or half & half
5 egg yolks
1 pound sugar
2 packages vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon rum
14 ounces grain alcohol

Bring milk to a boil, remove from heat and set aside to cool completely. On high speed, beat yolks and sugar. Add vanilla sugar and beat until light and foamy. Add cooled milk slowly while continuously stirring. Add rum and grain alcohol.

If egg liqueur is too thick, add some more boiled and cooled milk. Egg liquor is thicker than the typical eggnog. Fill into wide-neck bottle, let sit for several weeks, then enjoy or use for recipes.

Enjoy,
Shirley
