I can honestly say I've never had hot egg nog. I've had egg nog-flavored hot drinks at places like Borders, and I wonder if this is similar at all (probably not).
This recipe over at FineLiving.com comes from the 70s book The Nashville Cookbook. I've always avoided making my own egg nog because it always seemed too difficult (yes, yes, I like egg nog from the store), but this recipe doesn't seem too hard at all. I see Martha Stewart making her eggnog every year on TV. I wonder if she's ever had this?
Hot Egg Nog
1 quart milk
4 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup bourbon or rum
grated nutmeg
Heat milk just until small bubbles form without boiling.
Beat egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy. Add salt and hot milk and mix well. Place over low heat or hot water and cook, while stirring, until mixture thickens (excess heat and long cooking will cause it to curdle). Beat egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the 1/4 cup sugar. Fold whites into hot milk mixture. Stir in bourbon or rum. Serve hot with a dash of nutmeg.
