We would crack a raw egg into a glass, beat it with one of those small egg beaters that fit into a glass and one would have to work it up and down. I think one can find those in the antique stores. We would add vanilla and sugar, beat a little more, then add milk. Stirred it good and drank it for breakfast. Eggnog that one buys is too sweet for me. I know some add rum to it but it's not for me. That being said, when I saw this recipe, I thought the added eggnog wou...
