Christmas will be here before we know it so we thought it was about time we shared an eggnog recipe so we can get in the festive spirit!

It’s not all that different to drinking chai… right?

No matter the time of year, a glass of egg nog is a fun and indulgent drink and dessert in one.

Eggnog of the non-alcoholic variety, was one of my father's favourite winter drinks.
He was raised in Scotland.
I prefer warm milk, as I don't like the taste of raw egg or the gluggy texture.
It's a no from me.
