Egg nogg
Ingredients:
7 egg yolks
300g sugar
100ml water
500ml cream (single or double)
250ml brown rum 54%
250ml Cognac
put the egg yolks, the sugar and the water into a bowl.
Mix it over steam until thick and creamy (I put it on top of a pot with boiling water on the hob)
it will take a few minutes but it will be ready once thick and creamy
then keep whisking off the heat until it has cooled down a bit...then while whisking pour in the Cream, rum and Cognac
leave it in the bowl until most of the foam has settled then fill into bottles.
Homemade Baileys (the more complicated recipe I talked about yesterday)
still easy to do AND VERY GOOD!
makes 2 liters
Ingredients:
1 liter of cream ( I used a mix of single and double)
350g sugar
12 Lindt chocolate balls (got them in tesco) http://www.lindt.com/uk/swf/eng/products/lindor/lindor-bags/
300ml strong coffee
250ml Korn ( I used Cognac as I had it already from making eggnogg)
100ml Whiskey
150ml rum
Boil the cream with the sugar and if you want a bit of vanilla essence, then once it is boiling add te Lindt chocolate and stir until it is fully dissolved
then add the coffee and let cool
once cool add the alcohol and ready is the most delicious baileys.
enough to give some away as presents and drink some too
some of the chocolate will form a thin layer on top of the baileys so if you want you can filter it through but I didnt bother...if you shake the bottle before you pour some out all is well...
both drinks will last for quite a while and will improve on age. In fact you should leave them for 14 days to mature first..
keep in a cool dark place.
Drink responsibly this christmas!:D
