which are not very good.

We always had boiled custard instead of egg nog. It is a cooked recipe. Milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla cook together until it coats the back of a spoon. You don't want to let it cook too long, or it will be too thick to drink.

Most folks stir a little bourbon into the custard before drinking.

You would be more likely to find boiled custard if you are in Kentucky, Tennessee or Mississippi.

I made some for a party and these darn Texans did not drink much of it. Well I brought it home and Mr YD churned it up in the ice cream freezer. It was awesome.

That egg nog recipe might also freeze up nicely
