I have to confess, I love eggnog. When it showed up in the grocery stores in the states, I was first in line to buy a carton. I enjoyed it chilled. I drank it in lattes. I ate it in ice cream.

For the majority of the past twelve years, I have been in Peru for Christmas. Can you believe no one has thought to package eggnog to sell at Christmastime. And of course, knowing that it isn’t really the most healthy thing to drink, I just haven’t had any for the past years.
Until today.

My husband loves cakes based on eggs and I knew he would enjoy an egg-based drink. I thought I was making a common Peruvian holiday drink until I looked into the ingredients a bit further and realize that what I made was essentially homemade eggnog. Peruvian recipes seem to use a lower egg-to-milk ratio than American recipes. But all in all, it was completely delicious.
