US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prepare a large bowl of cold water in which the eggnog will cool. You can also add some ice cubes.
  • Mix the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla pod marrow, and brandy in a large heatproof bowl.
  • Bring a layer of water to a boil in a saucepan and place the bowl on top. Make sure the water cannot touch the bowl!
  • While stirring, heat the eggs to a temperature of 145 °F or 62-64°C.
  • Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the bowl from the pan and place it in a bowl of cold water. This will prevent the eggnog from cooking further!
  • Continue to stir the eggs for a few more minutes until it has cooled enough, and pour it through a sieve into a clean bottle.
