New Year's Egg Nog, Ayana style!


In a large container, put in about 1/2 liter (or more) of cold milk. Also, add about 1/2 container of whipping cream. Add ingredients such as: honey, 2 eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee liguor, brandy, vanilla and/or almond extract. Mix very well together using a whisk or an electric blender. Next, chill in the refrigerator. Then pour into serving glasses. Top with whipped cream. It's a little fattining, but it has vitamin D!
