Maple Water Egg Nog
From DRINKmaple Maple Water [Array]
Notes
This recipe calls for DRINKmaple maple water. If you don't have maple water in a store near you, use coconut water instead.
Ingredients
- 4 cups maple water
1 cup raw almonds or raw cashews
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated nutmeg
1 whole cinnamon stick
- Optional: sweetener to taste (such as drizzle of maple syrup or honey)
Garnish: dash of cinnamon and/or cinnamon stick
Directions
- Blend the maple water and raw almonds to create nut milk.
- Whisk egg yolks using a stand mixer or hand mixer on high speed until they lighten in color.
- Add the nut milk, vanilla extract, and grated nutmeg and mix well.
- Add mixture to a medium saucepan, and heat on medium-low. Add cinnamon stick to mixture, and allow to steep. This will enhance the eggnog slightly with some cinnamon flavor.
- Stir mixture frequently and allow to thicken (Don't rush this process, or you'll end up with scrambled-egg-eggnog). Cooking is finished when eggnog coats the back of the spoon.
- Chill for at least 1 hour, and enjoy with garnish.
