# This makes me sad :(
I've always wanted to try eggnog, but I hadn't realised it was made with brandy, I'm really intolerant to it apparently so now it seems I shall never get to sup the fatty nectar!

# How about Whiskey?
And also, the alcohol is to make it adult eggnog I believe. So you can have it without.

# ^This^ as well
Without the alchol it is just an 18th Century posset. (Which are still very nice)

# Blueberry Posset for the mutha fucking win!
So it appears that I have had Eggnog then, just by another name! And it still smelledtasted as sweet :D

# Surely Eggs, Milk/Cream, Caster Sugar and Vanilla pod
is your basic Custard recipe - so you are drinking a glass of custard and then by adding Alcohol you have Custard in a cup with a kick!

# You are almost right fair maiden,
but a basic custard recipe would require a lot less milk than that for that amount of eggs.

Roughly 200mls milk with 6 eggs would be about right. Also, custard needs more sugar :D

But the ingredients, yes!

# I always buy tinned or packet custard
I will have to start learning how to make stuff from scratch.

# To be honest with you,
unless you are making something special, it isn'y necessarily worth making your own custard. It isn't as simple as it sounds, and you are more than likely to cook the eggs too quickly if you aren't careful. The reason that Birds and such are so succesful is simply because their custard is so good.
