Cookbook talk:Eggnog

awesome. more booze = more fun.

I don't understand this recipe. What is a 'cup'? Is this a large cup or a small one? I have only 4 cups in my flat and they're all different sizes. As every country in the world except Myanmar and the USA use metric measurements surely this is what should be used? Xania 20:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

"I don't understand this recipe. What is a 'cup'? Is this a large cup or a small one? I have only 4 cups in my flat and they're all different sizes." "A US unit of liquid measure equal to 8 fluid ounces, 1/16 of a US gallon, or 236.5882365 ml." I'm glad I don't use metric, it appears it makes one forget things.

Has anyone even tried this recipe? Certainly, it's one of the top hits when you google for "egg nog recipe", but you gotta wonder when the sum of the liquid ingredients measures 1,230ml (1.3 quarts), yet the yield is 2.5 quarts.

I made it, and it came out to a little over 2L. Beating the whites separately adds a lot of volume. --68.144.96.231 (discuss) 05:26, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Raw eggs
Eggnog needs to be cooked before drinking. Using raw eggs and chilling the eggnog can lead to food poisoning. The eggnog needs to be cooked to 160F degrees. SarahRead (discuss • contribs) 04:30, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
