Eggnog - Traditional Drink And Now Healthy Bread!

Eggnog is traditionally an alcoholic drink consisting of milk,  sugar, and eggs beaten together.  Rum or brandy is added in this drink traditionally served from Thanksgiving to the New Year.

According to About.com, "References to egg nog date back to the 1800’s when, just as today, it was served as a refreshment during the winter holidays. Egg nog of the 19th century consisted simply of sugar, milk, eggs, brandy, and rum. The beverage was prepared and consumed cold, was not as sweet as its modern counterparts, and was typically much higher in alcohol content."

Today there are many variations, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.  And interestingly enough like so many foods, it has become highly processed.  In fact, nearly all the commercial varieties contain natural or artificial flavorings and additives that replace raw eggs.
