My Mom is 91 and Always made this EggNog for every Christmas Party! People would ask as soon as they got the invitation to the party " is your Mom making her Eggnog?" The tradition has continued into my adulthood, and now on this 20th Annual Christmas Party I will make her Nog! And toast to her My Mummy! Merry Christmas!

    If you are going to be serving it the same day... But I suggest waiting a day or even 2! You can whip the egg whites with a little sugar til just fluffy, but not too stiff! Then fold into the nog... serve with a little nutmeg on top...

    However, if you are waiting to let the Nog "brew"... Put the whites in a covered bowl in the fridge, remove a half an hour before you intend on beating them , then add them to the brewed nog and serve as above.. ENJOY!
