Extra Rich Eggnog Base

5 eggs 1 can evaporated milk

1/3 cup sugar 1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla, or to taste

Put all ingredients in blender for 1 minute. Add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg and continue mixing for 15 seconds. Place in refrigerator to ripen for 24 hours for the best flavor. When ready to serve, mix equal parts of whole milk and eggnog base. If it is still too rich add more milk until it suits your taste.

If you plan to live a long time I suggest using this recipe sparingly. It could tend to clog your arteries if consumed in large quantities. But what a way to go! Consider yourself warned!”
