Mom’s famous Egg Nog

• 1 gallon whole milk (skim will make a much lower calorie version)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 6 eggs, separated
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 Tbsp rum flavoring

Combine all but 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup sugar, condensed milk, salt and nutmeg and heat on stove top just to boiling (but don’t let it boil), stirring constantly.  Beat eggs yokes and add to 1/2 cup milk, and then add to hot milk mixture SLOWLY – (this will keep your eggs from turning into scrambled egg nog), cook 1 – 2 minutes on medium heat and then add the vanilla and rum.  Beat egg whites and slowly add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla.  Fold egg into egg nog mixture.  Sprinkle with nutmeg. Chill and serve hot or cold (I like it cold with a couple shots of kamora).
