J.R.’s Receipt for Egg-Nog

December 25, 2008 at 12:07 am (Dairy) (, , , )

From Sara Delano Roosevelt’s Household Book

Put a little powdered sugar into a tumbler
A teaspoonful or more of brandy
The yolk of an egg
1/2 a tumblerful of milk,

then fill up with cracked ice not too fine & shake well
together in a shaker (a big tin tumbler & a strong glass
tumbler)
Strain it into a clean tumbler & put on top a suspicion
of nutmeg.

-James Roosevelt, 1828-1900
