If I want it without booze(...), do I just have to leave it out? Do I have to change the measurements of the other ingredients or are they still the same?

[tastemade]

You can just leave it out.

Do you have a collaboration video with the lads from Sorted Food? What's the title?

[tastemade]

Yes, Sorted Food are doing a whole show here on Tastemade called SortedFood @ The Table.

I made this today for a church potluck and it went over great. I didn't have any left over. Thanks for this, I'd never had real eggnog before.

[tastemade]

Yay for no leftovers ;)

Raw eggs are not dangerous, they do not contain salmonella. Salmonella is on the outside of the eggs and very rare, wash the egg and crack it on a surface not the side of the bowl so the shell doesn't go in the eggs and you are fine. I suppose you can place the bowl over a pot of boiling water while you are whisking the sugar and eggs together. For non alchool just don't add it.

What about non-alcohol version and killing salmonella from z raw eggs? How I'm gonna do it and how it's gonna work? Pouring hot/boiling milk or..?.. Thanks =J

Pouring in some rum would not hurt.

[Scott Hawkins]

Raw eggs don't seem very safe to drink.
