Christmas Drinks: Eggnog

Now that Christmas is near, I would like to recommend to you something new to drink with your family and friends: the eggnog. It is a sweet dairy drink made with milk, cream, sugar and beaten eggs, and flavoured with cinnamon and nutmeg. Alcoholic kinds are also made. The eggnog is a popular drink in the United States and Canada, and is usually drunk in winter at parties such as Christmas and New Year. Its French name is "lait de poule" ( literally "hen´s milk" ).
