Making eggnog: time a key ingredient

Elspeth Hay

Elspeth Hay's great-grandfather kept his eggnog recipe in the safety deposit box - it's that good. This week on The Local Food Report, Elspeth reveals its secrets, and how it got the sexton drunk.

  

Elspeth gives a version of the family eggnog recipe, adapted from the Joy of Cooking, on her blog, Diary of a Locavore.
