Eggnog- a sweet healthy drink, which is usually cooked for Christmas in many countries. The traditional composition of Eggnog includes alcohol, raw eggs and milk or cream. We took Jamie Oliver's recipe as a basis, only eliminated alcohol (if you wish, you can add 300 ml of rum or bourbon to the drink) and instead of raw eggs we will use heat-treated ones. Eggnog can be served hot, warm or with ice.
