GREAT IN COFFEEÂ
Eggnog takes coffee to a new level
INSTRUCTIONSÂ
Simply add 2 cups of milk, sugar, pudding mix, vanilla, spices and salt to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Let stand 5 minutes.Â
Pour into a large pitcher and stir in remaining 3 cups milk. Refrigerate until thickened slightly, at least one hour. Stir well before serving. (Hint: If it’s too thick just add a dash of milk.) Â
CHILL AND KEEP
Total time does not include refrigeration. This egg-not eggnog will keep well in the fridge for 5 to 6 days.Â
ALCOHOLÂ
If you’re in Jamaica you’d probably add 4 tablespoons or fluid ounces of dark rum and maybe some lime zest, but here on the Outer Banks we have our very own Kill Devil Rum, unless you prefer bourbon or brandy. Â
