24.01.2024

How to make eggnog at home? What are its advantages and what is the use of it? These and other questions come up on the agenda when we have throat problems and feel unwell.

Let's immediately name five main advantages of eating eggnog:

it is easy to manufacture;
products for it are publicly available and relatively inexpensive;
it is done quickly;
very useful;
sometimes it’s simply irreplaceable.

Individual recipes for this healing and tasty drink include:

chicken or quail eggs;
sugar or honey;
butter;
fruit or carrot juice;
coffee or cocoa;
spices.

As can be seen from the list, the components for making eggnog have many useful properties. Thus, a raw chicken egg is a unique product in itself, which is almost completely digestible, leaving no toxins behind. The presence of proteins promotes growth and recovery of the body, and carbohydrates fill it with energy and strength. A huge number of macro- and microelements contained in the drink, replenishing the diet, affect many physiological reactions and processes occurring at the cellular level.

Periodic consumption of eggnog will protect the body from psychological and physical exhaustion and improve the functioning of the immune system. In case of illness, it will have a beneficial effect on improving general health and promote rapid recovery. This is a kind of ambulance at home.

There are many recipes for eggnog

Let's look at the most accessible of them:

A classic recipe for adults and children. The yolks are separated from the whites from two eggs. This can be done in a very simple way - break each egg separately in a saucer with a flat bottom and, covering the yolk with a stack of suitable diameter, turn the mixture into another container, carefully holding the stack in which, in fact, the yolk remains. Add sugar to taste and beat the contents until the sugar is completely dissolved.
The honey recipe is also a classic. The best option is to use acacia honey. It is the only one suitable for children with allergies. One yolk is separated from the white and beaten with three teaspoons of acacia honey, after which 200 ml of warmed fresh milk is added. If you add a pinch of vanilla to the cocktail, the drink will acquire a special taste.

Carrot recipe – eggnog with carrot juice. A glass of slightly warmed carrot juice, a pinch of ground allspice, salt and turmeric are added to one chicken egg yolk, separated from the white. All this is thoroughly mixed.
For this recipe, you need to buy natural butter with a fat content of at least 82 percent. It is better to use homemade oil. Ingredients: yolk of one egg, 2 teaspoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of honey, 100 grams of warm milk. Preparation: grind honey with yolks, add melted butter, beat the resulting mixture with a mixer.
This recipe has its own little secret. It is advisable to drink it not in the morning, but in the evening before bed. Its composition is almost the same as the previous one, only there are twice as many ingredients. The last meal is calculated 2 hours before drinking the drink. A little cinnamon, nutmeg or ground bay pepper, depending on your taste preferences, will absolutely not hurt. All of these spices have a very gentle effect on the nervous and circulatory systems, relax the body, relieve fatigue, and thin the blood. You can add them individually or a little of each. To make this eggnog even more effective for coughs and other symptoms of colds, you need to add a pinch of soda or squeeze out a clove of garlic.

Coffee recipe. True, the drink for children is made from cocoa. One egg is enough for two servings. After separating the yolk from the white, the white is whipped with a mixer into a thick foam, and the yolk is thoroughly ground with sugar. Warm milk is poured into the bottom of the container, then prepared coffee or cocoa, half of the yolk mashed to white is added on top, and finally the whipped white is laid out in the center.
Fruit recipe. It is useful especially in the summer and autumn seasons, when fruits contain many vitamins and other useful substances, thanks to which the drink acquires a rich taste. Take 100 ml of natural juice from cherries, apples, apricots or other fruits, prepared at home, beat in a mixer with pre-pounded two yolks with a small amount of salt and three tablespoons of sugar. Add 400 ml of boiled milk at room temperature and half a glass of cool water to the resulting mixture. All this is thoroughly mixed. Separately whipped to a stiff foam, the protein is added at the end and sprinkled with grated walnuts on top. This delicacy is usually drunk through a straw.

What is the benefit?

The maximum benefit from such a cocktail will be if it is consumed with a certain frequency. For example, once a day for a week, then take a two-three week break. The presence of vitamins, proteins, fats and essential amino acids in the cocktail will contribute to the active growth of the child’s body, strengthen the immune system, and have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. In the autumn and spring periods, when humidity and air temperature increase, the breaks between taking the drink can be taken shorter.

Sometimes a few drops of iodine should be added to cough eggnog for a dry cough, or five to seven drops of propolis tincture for a wet cough. Based on the ingredients included in the recipes for making eggnog, its benefits are obvious. However, there are times when it can cause harm. For example, if you use stale chicken eggs, you can become infected with salmonella. Therefore, it is recommended to consume only fresh products purchased from a trusted seller. As a last resort, you can switch to quail eggs. Since the body temperature of a quail is higher than that of a chicken, it does not suffer from salmonella. It is believed that eating two quail eggs a day brings maximum benefits to the body. If you use them in eggnog instead of chicken eggs, it is recommended to do this in a two to one ratio.

People with diseases such as:

allergies (especially to chicken eggs);
diabetes;
atherosclerosis.

This healing drink can also cause harm to those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, liver and gall bladder. Do not forget that it is not recommended to give it to children under five years of age.

Not least among the most popular desserts is eggnog, the classic recipe for which requires two essential ingredients: sugar and raw eggs. However, this original drink has a huge number of different variations.

How to properly prepare the famous eggnog in a home kitchen?

The classic recipe, which is most often found in reference books, contains the following set of components:

1 raw egg;
a little salt;
¾ cup whole milk;
1 tablespoon wine.

The method of preparing the drink is extremely simple:

Break the egg into a clean bowl.
Add a little salt and wine to it and beat lightly.
Add milk. At this stage the beating should be more intense.
Strain the drink directly into a glass through a sieve.

This option is slightly different from the basic recipe. However, it is ideal for those who do not have a sweet tooth.

How to cook without wine

Not everyone can afford to drink drinks that contain alcohol. But this does not mean that you need to immediately abandon your idea. How to make eggnog without using wine or any other alcoholic drink? There can be many options here. One of those that is closest to the classic recipe can be used by almost everyone.

To prepare it you need:

2 eggs;
a little salt;
sugar (to taste).

For decoration:

grated nutmeg;
whipped cream.

True, the technology for preparing such a drink will be somewhat different:

First you need to break the eggs and carefully separate the whites from the yolks. This can be done using a special separator or the same eggshell.
Place the whites in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. This is necessary so that it will be easier to beat them later.
At this time, beat the yolks thoroughly with salt and sugar. You can’t do without a mixer here. Continue the process until the mass doubles.
Do the same procedure with the whites separately. In the presence of sugar and salt, they will gradually turn into a fluffy foam.
Combine the yolk and protein masses.
Pour the drink into a glass and decorate to your liking. Whipped cream and grated nutmeg work best for this.

Such an amazing dessert will not leave anyone indifferent.

Chocolate drink

True sweet tooths will definitely love homemade eggnog with chocolate flavor.

In this case you will need to take:

20 grams of sugar;
2 chicken eggs;
10 grams of butter;
5 grams of cocoa powder;
a couple of pieces of chocolate (for decoration).

To prepare this drink, you need:

As in the previous recipe, slowly separate the whites from the yolks. To avoid unwanted contamination, the outside of the eggshell must first be thoroughly wiped.
Grind the yolks thoroughly with sugar using a mixer.
Without stopping stirring, add butter and cocoa to them.
Beat the whites in a separate bowl until they form a stable foam.
Mix both masses.
Pour the prepared drink into a bowl (or glass).
Decorate it with grated chocolate on top.

This dessert is good to make in the morning. This does not take much time, and the ingredients that make up the drink improve your mood and give you a boost of energy for the whole day.

Vanilla flavored

Using various food additives, the drink can be given any taste. For example, vanilla eggnog can be an excellent way to start the day. Homemade dessert will not only be tasty, but also very healthy if you use quail eggs rather than chicken eggs. Today they can be purchased at any grocery store.

For such a cocktail you need to prepare in advance:

0.5 liters of whole milk;
50 grams of sugar;
18 small quail eggs;
1 sachet (10 grams) vanilla sugar.

The cooking method is also not particularly complicated:

Break the eggs into a deep container. For better whipping, you need to keep them in the refrigerator for several hours beforehand.
Add all other ingredients at once.
Blend using the immersion blender attachment for 3 minutes.

After such intensive mixing, the mass increases 2–3 times. This must be taken into account when choosing containers. The finished vanilla drink will only have to be poured into glasses. It’s better to drink it through a cocktail straw.

Cooking with cognac

Those who still prefer alcohol-containing desserts will be interested in learning how to make eggnog with cognac. This option, of course, is not suitable for children.

To work you need to take:

75 grams of sugar;
40 milliliters of cognac;
yolks of two eggs.

The whole process consists of two stages:

The yolks must first be thoroughly ground with sugar.
Add alcohol. Mix everything thoroughly again.

In order not to spoil the taste of the drink, it is better not to take cheap cognac. A specific alcohol aroma can ruin everything.

Eggnog with lemon

According to one legend, gogol-mogol was created as a remedy for colds. Therefore, it is quite logical to include in its composition the popular citrus (lemon) and, of course, honey.

To make the right eggnog, you need to take:

1 chicken egg;
55 milliliters lemon juice;
50 grams of powdered sugar;
270 milliliters of milk;
80 grams of honey.

Method for preparing a medicinal drink:

Squeeze the juice from the citrus. It needs to sit for a bit to warm up to room temperature.
Bring the milk to a boil over low heat, and then cool to about 30 degrees.
Beat the egg white thoroughly with a small amount of powder. The foam should be quite dense.
Add the yolk to the milk. Whisk the ingredients. Add lemon juice to this.
Combine these two masses.
While continuing to stir, slowly add the remaining powdered sugar.
Add honey, preheating it to a liquid state.

After final mixing, the drink can be poured into glasses. It is better to drink it warm.

Coffee cocktail

Homemade eggnog can be made from just about anything. If you take freshly brewed coffee, for example, you get an excellent cocktail.

To prepare two servings of this drink you will need:

200 milliliters of milk;
2 eggs;
30 – 40 grams of ready-made coffee;
75 grams of sugar.

Making such a cocktail is not at all difficult.

You just need:

Brew ground coffee and let it cool.
Beat the egg yolks thoroughly with sugar. The mass should be fluffy and smooth.
Carefully add milk and mix well.
Pour in coffee. Mix again.
Beat the whites with a mixer until foamy.
Add them to the total mass.

Now all you have to do is pour a lush cocktail with a pleasant coffee aroma into glasses and drink with pleasure. For beauty, you can lightly sprinkle it with grated chocolate.

Children's eggnog with milk

Children usually like original, lush desserts. For the little ones, you can prepare eggnog from proteins with the addition of milk. The result is an airy, sweet cocktail that children will drink with great pleasure.

For this option you need:

2 egg whites;
25 grams of sugar;
50 milliliters of warm milk and the same amount of any fruit juice;
1 – 2 grams of grated chocolate (for decoration).

How to prepare this drink:

The whites must first be thoroughly beaten with sugar into a stable foam.

Video: how to prepare eggnog for cough

What do most of us do when we notice the first signs of a cold? We rush to the pharmacy to buy medicine against cough, runny nose, and fever. What did our great-grandmothers do? They prepared herbal tea, took out jars of it, and, of course, prepared delicious eggnog, beloved by many. And what is most surprising is that these natural remedies put patients on their feet no worse than modern pharmaceuticals.

How did eggnog appear?

There are several versions of the origin of gogol-mogul, a world-famous drink and dessert. Some believe that the dessert was invented in Germany, others believe that it was invented in Poland or England. And according to one of the legends, the birthplace of this delicious drink is Belarus. Or more precisely, the city of Mogilev. A Jew, Gogel, who once lived there, came up with a recipe for a drink to treat a throat. And I didn’t come up with it by accident, but very consciously. The Jew made his living by singing in the synagogue. When Gogel lost his voice, he lost his income. So I started looking for ways to restore my health. He knew that eggs helped restore vocal cords. But I tried to improve the medicine by mixing raw eggs and bread crumbs. It is unknown what happened next to Gogel from Mogilev. But the recipe invented by a Jewish singer has survived to this day.

Over time, rumors about a miracle medicine for the throat reached Poland, where Countess Bronislava Potocka lived at that time. She loved to sing for her guests, but her voice often let her down. So the Countess decided to test the effectiveness of Gogel’s recipe, but instead of bread crumbs she added it to the egg mixture. They say that this day became a turning point in history - since then they started talking about eggnog throughout Eastern Europe.

According to another legend, a delicious dessert was invented in the 19th century by a German confectioner, Manfred Kekenbauer. Well, how did he come up with it... He got the delicacy almost by accident. They say that the German sold the patent for mass production of the dessert for one and a half million marks.

By the way, in almost all countries where this dessert is prepared, its name means “mash,” which is what eggnog actually is.

Variations on the theme of Gogol-Mogol

Researchers of culinary history claim that something similar to eggnog was prepared in Great Britain back in the 13th century - they mixed eggs and a drink reminiscent of ale. And in the 18th century, the “mash” recipe became popular on the American continent. True, in the USA and Canada this drink is called eggnog, and it is prepared with the addition of brandy, bourbon and consumed during the New Year holidays. Something similar to eggnog is drunk in Chile and Mexico. But in the Latin American version, the dessert must include whipped (or milk), brandy, and other spices, and such a cocktail is usually consumed cold. Today, eggnog is one of the most famous desserts in the world, which is prepared with or without alcohol.

Useful properties of dessert

Most of the beneficial and dangerous properties of eggnog are determined by the main ingredient of the product -. And they, as you know, serve as a source for humans, as well as, and. Although, it must be said that the chemical composition of chicken eggs may vary somewhat, depending on the food they eat. And this also affects the chemical composition of the dessert.

Thanks to the yolks from which the dessert is made, eggnog is an excellent source of lecithin. And this substance is good for the heart and blood vessels, it is used to treat depression, restore the liver, improve the functioning of the brain and nervous system.

Gogol-mogol seems to be the most delicious medicine for coughs and sore throats. This dessert helps with loss of voice and colds.

Singers love this dessert not only for its excellent taste, but also for its ability to restore and strengthen the vocal cords. Gogol-mogol is popular even among bodybuilders. This drink, rich in proteins, carbohydrates and healthy fats, is consumed by athletes after training as a drink and is also included in the menu for weight gain.

Gogol-mogol is an exceptional product (100 g contains almost 300 kcal), therefore it is considered useful for people who are underweight. This dessert, even in small quantities, perfectly satisfies hunger and promotes rapid restoration of strength.

Contraindications

Pleasant taste and an impressive list of beneficial properties are not a guarantee that the product is completely free of side effects and contraindications. First of all, people with diabetes should consume dessert with caution, since eggnog is quite a high-calorie product. It is also advisable to refrain from egg dessert for persons with atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, liver disease, and disorders of the gallbladder and pancreas. Dessert is strictly prohibited for people allergic to eggs or components contained in them.

Another danger of chicken eggs is salmonella bacteria. Since only raw yolks are used for eggnog, it is important to use only very fresh products with intact shells. Such measures will prevent possible infection with salmonellosis.

How to cook eggnog

There are a huge number of recipe versions of this egg dessert. Children love the egg-milk drink, which is used to treat sore throats and colds, while adults enjoy the sweet delicacy with the addition of exquisite aromatic alcohol. But despite hundreds of modern recipes, classic eggnog has been and is being prepared in the same way all over the world and at different times. And all other recipes are just a variation of the classics.

Classic recipe

Lightly salt the egg yolks and beat with a broom or mixer. While beating, add sugar in small portions. The finished mixture should double in volume. Then beat the egg whites, also with a pinch of salt and sugar. Add the protein foam to the yolks and mix in the container in which the dessert is served.

With bread crumbs

This recipe is reminiscent of eggnog, which, according to legend, was invented in Mogilev. It is prepared from a whole egg, which is beaten with salt. Finely chopped white bread crumb is added to the finished product.

With fruits

Fruit is a classic ingredient in most desserts, and it works well for eggnog too. The fruit version of the dessert is prepared from traditional ingredients (eggs, milk, sugar and salt), to which fruit puree and nuts are added.

The delicacy is prepared in this way. Beat two yolks with a pinch of salt and three tablespoons of sugar (beat until the mixture doubles in size). Then add 100 g of fruits or berries crushed into puree (the same amount of juice will do instead of puree). Then pour 500 ml of milk into the mixture (option: 400 ml of milk and 100 ml). Pour the finished cocktail into a dessert container, and place the whipped whites on top. Garnish with chopped nuts.

With coffee

The first stage of preparation is carried out following classical technology. The yolk, separated from the white, is beaten with sugar. And now the magic begins. This drink is served in small cups. Pour a little warm milk into the bottom of the container, a small amount of black milk on top, and then lay out the yolks beaten with sugar. Decorate the sweet dish with whipped egg whites. This type of eggnog is drunk without stirring.

With cocoa

This option will appeal to children and adults. This type of eggnog is good to drink for colds and to improve coughing. Beat the yolks with sugar or powdered sugar (a tablespoon will be enough), then add half a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of cocoa and a little. The last ingredient is whipped whites. Mix all components thoroughly. The medicinal dessert is ready to eat.

By the way, one of the variations of this recipe suggests adding one more ingredient - warm milk. They say that in this form, eggnog becomes even more beneficial for colds.

With honey

This is a traditional version of gogol-mogol against bronchitis, colds, and viral diseases. This drink is useful for strengthening the immune system.

To get a medicinal version of the drink, the yolks should be beaten not with sugar, but with honey (take 5-6 teaspoons of honey for two yolks). After this, pour a glass of well-heated milk into the yolks, a little citrus juice and beat everything again. Separately, prepare a dense foam from the whites, into which slowly pour the yolks and milk in a thin stream.

Gogol-mogol "Lawyer"

This is the world's most famous version of eggnog with alcohol, invented in the Netherlands. As in other cases, prepare the dessert by beating the yolks with a pinch of salt and sugar. The next step is to add to the egg mixture (brandy, rum, wine) and heat in a water bath (for 10 minutes). To make the dessert work, it is important to stir the mixture constantly and not bring it to a boil. At the end add a little vanilla. Pour the well-heated mixture into a special dessert vessel. Before serving, decorate with whipped egg whites. Unlike other options, this type of eggnog is not drunk, but eaten with a dessert spoon, since the consistency of the finished dessert is quite thick.

For bodybuilders

As already mentioned, eggnog is used not only to treat colds. This nutritional shake can be very beneficial for people who exercise intensely. But the bodybuilding version (useful for gaining muscle mass) is somewhat different from the usual one. For it, beat 2 egg whites with a small amount of sweetener. Carefully add 1 egg yolk and a portion to the foam. Beat everything thoroughly and cool.

Baked

To prepare 4 servings of this unusual eggnog you will need 6 yolks, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 120 g of butter and 3 tablespoons of cocoa.

Traditionally beat the yolks with sugar, add melted (but not hot) butter and cocoa. Beat everything again. Pour the finished mixture into small molds, which are placed on a baking sheet filled with hot water (the molds should be 1-2 cm immersed in water). Place in the oven for 15 minutes, preheated to 150 degrees.

Gogol-mogol is a vivid example of how tasty and healthy can be combined in one dish. This amazing product can be an effective medicine and a delicious dessert, an alcoholic cocktail for adults and a milk drink for children. But no matter what recipe your particular eggnog is prepared according to, you can be sure: it is just as healthy as the classic version.
