Martha Stewart passed by the Today Show to share some of her holiday recipes and tips, including pressed velvet leaves that you can use for decorations and a citrus centerpiece that can brighten any table. But what everyone on set was there for was her very famous and very strong eggnog recipe. “We have about two minutes left … everyone wants to know the recipe,” said host Sheinelle Jones, rushing to the recipe before the segment was over. Here’s how Martha makes it.
Beat egg yolks and gradually add 1 1/2 cups sugar once the yolks are thick and pale yellow. Then, beat in the milk and cream. Add bourbon, rum, and cognac to the mixture while constantly stirring. Before serving, beat egg whites until stiff and slowly whisk in sugar and vanilla extract. Fold it into the mixture before whipping the remaining heavy cream, gradually folding that into the eggnog.
You can find the full recipe here. But be warned, if you make it the next time you host, your guests might stay a little longer than expected. “Thanks for the strong eggnog. Our crew is passing out like flies,” joked Carson Daly after trying the eggnog.
