Easy 5 minute 'Nog

Egg nog: THE iconic holiday drink. Many people think its too hard to make, or too time consuming, but thats not really true.

All you need is a blender!( I prefer a hand held one.)

The ingredients for the nog:
2 eggs
1.5 cups of milk (preferably whole, if you dont have whole then add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to 1.25 cups of 2% or 1%)
3.5 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg or pumpkin spice(optional)
Reccomended Garnishes:
Whipped cream
Peppermint stick
Cinnamon stick
Candy cane

Put the nog stuff in a bowl or your blender, and pulse it until its well blended. You dont want to aerate it too much, but if you do just let the bubbles settle.

Pour it into a pitcher or bowl, and refrigerate it. This stuff is delicious, and much healthier than the stuff at stop n shop. Plus it saves lots and lots of money, the stuff at stop n shop is up to 4 bucks a pint, multiple times the price of gasoline.

Pour into a glass, pipe or squirt some whipp on the top, stick in a peppermint or cinnamon stick.

Have fun cooking, and enjoy your egg nog!

All I had for the garnish was whipped cream and pumpkin spice, but it was just as good.
