Alimentary Advent Calendar: Door Number 21 - Aged Eggnog

<h2>Eggnog, A Charming Holiday Drink</h2><p>Having originated in England, it’s not surprising that the American colonists brought this drink to the new world with them. Like many dishes from their native land, it was sure to bring a sense of familiarity and comfort. And because many of the colonists kept cows, and chickens to subsist in this untamed world, eggs and cream were almost always available.</p><p>It’s charm has not worn off over the last 221 years with versions like the aged eggnog that Brandy makes each year to celebrate the season. Exclaiming, “it ain’t Christmas until this eggnog gets broken out!”</p><h2>MORE FROM THIS EPISODE</h2><h2>Sources We Found Helpful for this Episode</h2><p><a href="https://www.seriouseats.com/is-aging-holiday-eggnog-worth-it">Serious Eats</a></p><h2>Books We Think You’ll  Enjoy Reading</h2><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3mgG3Gl">An Eggnog to Die For</a></p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/3q6jpBv">The Art of Mixology</a></p><h2>Recipes You Really Need to Try</h2><p><a href="https://www.nutmegnanny.com/aged-eggnog/">Aged Eggnog</a> - Nutmeg Nanny</p><p><a href="https://altonbrown.com/recipes/aged-eggnog/">Aged Eggnog</a> - Alton Brown</p><h2>We would love you to connect with us</h2><p><a href="https://asweeat.com">AsWeEat.com</a>, on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/asweeat/">@asweeat</a>, join our new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1643433769037789">As We Eat</a> community on Facebook, or subscribe to the <a href="https://asweeat.substack.com/about">As We Eat Journal</a>.</p><p>Do you have a great idea 💡 for a show topic, a recipe 🥘 that you want to share, or just say “hi”👋🏻?  Send us an email at <a href="mailto:connect@asweeat.com">connect@asweeat.com</a></p><p>Review As We Eat on <a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/as-we-eat-1522265">Podchaser</a> or  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/as-we-eat/id1537593535">Apple Podcast</a>.
