Eggnog

[billagirly]

I hear eggnog scrambles when it's steamed and not cut with milk... fact or fiction? I've only steamed it with a little milk, never by itself.

I posted this myth in one of my responses recently....
there is no egg in eggnog

...

most eggnogs at least. Original recipe has plenty but most dairies in Texas at least do not actually use egg anymore.

Original recipe calls for rum too

I know that Borden, at least, does have egg yolks in their eggnog.
(quote from their website: "Borden® EggNog is a pure, wholesome dairy beverage made with quality dairy ingredients including skim milk, cream and egg yolks for traditional flavor and richness.")

I guess I'll try steaming pure eggnog with my little home espresso machine, so as not to risk having scrambled eggnog in the wand at the shop!!

Used to use borden at a shop and when I think about it the wand did get a rather solid crepe-like coating on it after a few drinks(even w/cleaning)

O.k as long as I've been in the drive thru business, ( 4) or so years...I've steamed straight from the carton eggnog....with no chunks.

we steam eggnog with chai, we froth it for lattes, and we make it on its own without any issues. I prefer the lowfat eggnog, just 'cause it steams nicer, but we've used both.
