A Brief History of Eggnog

Eggnog’s origins date back centuries to medieval Britain, where it started as a warm, spiced drink enjoyed by the aristocrats. Over time, it became a winter staple in America, with families across the country sipping on homemade batches throughout the holiday season. This timeless drink, rich in tradition, is now enjoyed in various forms, from creamy, warm classics to chilled, spicy delights.

Healthful Seasons Collagen-Infused Classic Eggnog Recipe

Not only is this version high in protein with eggs, dairy, and a scoop of Healthful Seasons’ Collagen Belly Burn, but it also offers the option to skip the alcohol or add a favorite spirit for a festive touch.

Ingredients:

6 large organic eggs, separated

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 cups organic whole milk

1 cup organic heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon organic  pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon organic ground nutmeg, plus extra for garnish

1 scoop Collagen Belly Burn per serving

Optional: 1–2 ounces dark rum, bourbon, or cognac (per serving)

Instructions:

Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Heat Milk and Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine milk, cream, vanilla, and nutmeg. Warm over medium heat until just simmering.

Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Return the entire mixture to the saucepan.

Thicken: Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the eggnog thickens slightly (about 5–7 minutes). Avoid letting it boil.

Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cooled eggnog mixture for an airy texture.

Add Collagen and Froth: Stir in one scoop of Collagen Belly Burn per serving. Use the WhiskFit frother just before serving to give your eggnog that light, luxurious finish. Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg on top for garnish.

Enjoy this nutritious, collagen-boosted treat warm, room temperature, or chilled!
