Most of what I consume tonight will be of a very thin consistency and served in a glass bottle.

If you wish you can temp the eggs to 160 degrees. I have been making this for many years so far I have not gotten sick from it. None of my friends that I share it with, have not gotten sick from it. Precautions are always good to do. I can say the alcohol does not kill bacteria. So please take your cautions when preparing the Eggnog. |
