Eggnog: A festive drink with a twist

EGGNOG is a classic holiday drink that originated in Europe and became popular in America. It is a thick, creamy, and delicious concoction made with milk, cream, eggs, sugar and spices. It is usually spiked with bourbon or rum, but it can also be enjoyed without alcohol. Eggnog is perfect for warming up on a cold winter night and celebrating with friends and family.

But what if you want to try something different this year? What if you want to add some African flair to your eggnog? Well, you are in luck, because AFDIS, a local distillery, has come up with a unique recipe that uses Amarula, a liqueur made from the fruit of the marula tree. Amarula adds a smooth and fruity taste to the eggnog, making it even more irresistible.

The recipe is simple and easy to follow. You just need some milk, cream, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla and of course, Amarula. The trick is to temper the egg yolks with some hot milk before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. This ensures that the eggnog is safe and smooth. You can also adjust the amount of Amarula to your liking, or leave it out if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.

Eggnog is best served chilled, in a glass or a mug, with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg on top. You can also garnish it with some cinnamon sticks or star anise for extra flavour and aroma. Eggnog is a drink that everyone can enjoy, whether you are young or old, naughty or nice.

So, if you are looking for a way to spice up your holiday season, why not give this eggnog recipe a try? You might just discover a new favourite drink that will make your festive celebrations even more special.

Till we meet again in 2024 cheers to the New Year and may it be as prosperous as you make it. Cheers!
