Can you safely age eggnog for weeks in your refrigerator?
In short: Adam Ragusea demonstrates the process of aging homemade eggnog. By mixing alcohol directly into eggs, the mixture becomes shelf-stable enough to age in the refrigerator for weeks, a process that purportedly enhances flavor while ensuring safety.
The process relies on the alcohol content to kill bacteria, making it safe to consume after a three-week aging period in the refrigerator. The recipe requires beating eggs and slowly drizzling in alcohol to prevent curdling, followed by incorporating sugar, cream, and whipped cream.
During the three-week rest, the mixture may separate, requiring a quick stir before serving. The final drink can be finished with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
