Being from the colonies, I’ve been a Christmas eggnog maker for many years. But I always thought it was a British drink. How delightful that you are discovering it on your side of the pond. It did, in fact, get cancelled over here by most people who, fearing the effects of raw egg, decided that we could only drink cooked versions. Being subversive, I have continued to make the raw version from my ancient Joy of Cooking recipe (which uses a full dozen eggs so it can be available to all guests throughout the season) to no ill effects. However, I like the sound of your custardy version and look forward to giving it a sip over the hols. Many thanks for the fun history on this one!
