Fun Fact: Laura Ingalls Wilder and her husband Almanzo Wilder finally settled forever on a farm in Mansfield, Missouri, deep in the Ozarks. She spent her last 60 years there, wrote the books there, and died there. Laura and Almanzo are buried in the town's cemetery. Besides Wilder, the other big attraction in Mansfield is the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. It's their home base. I live in Missouri and have made several trips to buy seeds at Baker Creek and see Laura Ingalls Wilder's farm home, which is a perfectly preserved museum today. It's a great little weekend trip for me.
My grandfather, who passed in in the early 70s, would come in from work in mid afternoon and mix a drink. It was a glass of his own cow's whole milk with a big spoon of sugar and 2 raw eggs. He beat it up real good, drank it down and went back to work.
If you start with a clean whisk/hand blender and beat the egg whites first, then work on the yolk mixture you will save yourself some cleaning in the middle. 😊
My Dad would make us eggnog and have us drink it whenever we had bad belly aches. Something about the raw egg would supposedly attack the bad stuff making our bellies hurt. We didn't want to drink it when we saw the raw egg go in it. Then he added a little sugar, raw milk, and vanilla. I'll never forget watching him using the hand crank mixer to mix it all together. I still have that hand crank mixer. Of course, we held our noses to drink it because we thought the raw egg would be terrible, but it was oh so good. We would fake belly aches to get more, but Dad caught on to what we were up to. LOL!! Thank you for the wonderful memory!!!
Makes sense! Milk on its own has electrolytes and many times refreshes me during hay season. I also love a good Yankee punch, also called haymaker's punch: apple cider vinegar, lemon, ginger, and a sweetener like molasses or honey. Fresh ginger is extra special in this. I make a concentrated version, put it in a jelly jar or pint jar, and add to ice water, iced tea, ginger ale.
I like maple syrup in mine for a treat and yes fresh ginger is so refreshing. Keeping it concentrated is a good idea. Thanks for the reminder as I need to get back to making it again.
@@ReadRomans10 Maple or honey is the best....if I put too much molasses in it tastes like A1 steak sauce, LOL. There is something very super-duper refreshing about this drink, like our bodies need a bit of something acidic for zippy-ness! I forget about it sometimes, too, but have been getting hay and made some Thursday!
@@palominogirl2732 I noticed that too how it was so satisfying. Must be the ACV. Lol @ A1 steak sauce. I didn't have recipe and just start adding the ingredients to taste.
My mom used to put an egg in a glass, add a splash of vanilla, a little sugar to taste and fill with milk. Then stir/mix and enjoy. I hadn't thought about it for years. Thanks for reminding me! Going to start the tradition again tomorrow with my own family 👪 🥰
My sons when they were boys used to bring in the eggs and ask for egg drinks, they would stand and watch and wait for the next one to get theirs. My daughters enjoyed it to but not near as much as my sons. Fond memories. Thank you👩🌾💪
I used to have bouts of food aversion as a child and my parents would make me eggnog as often as I wanted. As an adult I've gotten heck from so many people for consuming raw eggs, but I still make this whenever I know I need nutrition and I don't feel "hungry"(really it's more of a sensory/texture thing) I've always looked at it as liquid nutrition but without all the chemicals that are in ensure or boost type drinks.
I used to make one every day for my husband when he was doing chemo. I wouldn't feed him the ensure or boost crap. I would throw in some berries too. He liked so much better.
Love from Morocco! We also are a homesteading family, but in Africa 😊Watching your videos are always such a joy and I learn so much from you! Keep up the good work ❤🇲🇦
I have an old Bavarian recipe for Eggnog from a cookbook my stepfather had. That one doesn't tell you to separate the eggs out, but you can make it without alcohol. It's like a milkshake, and I can totally see that being something to consume to boost your energy while you're working outside on a hot day. Fantastic! Really good for French toast, too
You just made our day! My daughter and I are reading “Farmer Boy” right now and she was so excited when this video came up. This is definitely something we will be making later today. 😁💜 I love your videos! Thank you for teaching me something new every time I watch. ☀️
When we were running late for school mum would make this with banana whipped in for a quick breakfast. Banana flip. She also added a dash of vanilla extract.
Would you ever consider doing a BUSINESS MASTERCLASS? My husband and I live in Northern Canada and run a seedling nursery part time. We homestead and farm but my husband still relies on his off farm work for our family income. Families like yours are very inspiring to us because in many ways you are doing exactly what we would like to do. But when it comes to running a business on a digital platform, we don't really know where to start. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO! And I hope you will consider this sincere question
I didn't have the gumption to separate the eggs and whisk this morning but I did want to try this recipe out, so I popped an egg into some raw milk with some maple syrup and blended in my mini-blender. It really hits the spot! I recommend a mini blender if you're short on time like I was today, as I even got some delicious foam on top! I may have to make this my go-to breakfast.
I LOVE those books! I had a well-read set for years, until they got ruined in a basement flood. Farmer Boy was my youngest son’s favorite one, because he was Almonzo‘s age at the time I read it to him. Thank you so much for this recipe!
OHHHH MY GOD Thank you SO MUCH to have talking about the cookbook because i am a BIG BIG fan of the little house 'i do have a lot things about them Books dvd etc etc but i dont have this book ,i just buy it now , and what making me more happy is that i am from France and i find it in France Amazon ..Again Thank you so much , u make my day so happy today 😘❤❤❤❤❤
I use a recipe for eggnog I found online to make it in my instantpot. It pasteurizes the raw eggs, but more importantly, it is the best eggnog I have ever tasted. (I do make it for the holidays and add a little rum.)
What a treat! A quick recipe för what is called "eggmilk: 2 eggs + 0,11 pounds of butter into a bowl. Mix in 3 cups of boiling water (in 3 sections, boiling it between to keep up the temperature, especially if you want to keep some in the fridge). Season if you like; vanilla, cocoa, instant coffe, cinnamon, cardamum... In summer i mix in frosen berrys in done eggmilk and get smooth icecream, my kids loved it! If you want it a little sweet use a little suger or honey (no honye to small childre though). Good for people with gluten intolerans, gives a lot of nutrition - a lot of people gives it to children instead of gruel and it taste really delicious. You make it real quick and can be stored in the fridge for 2-4 days.
After reading all of these comments about the old days and their own egg drink experiences…. I want to bring this to my own children.. go back in time so to speak 😊
I saw the best way separate eggs yesterday… le cordon bleu chef approved… crack all the eggs carefully into a bowl and then reach in and grab out the yolks! Hopefully you don’t have soft yolks that would break into the whites. I suppose one could break into a small bowl and then slide into the big bowl.
I tried this just randomly recently to see how it worked and it was amazing! I like scrambled eggs, but have an issue with the texture and flavor of yokes when not mixed with the whites (I know, I am weird, I have tried, I just can't do it 🤷♀️) but it was soooo easy to just reach into a bowl and pull out all of the egg yolks and throw them in with my husband's eggs so that he gets double the yolks! And you only get your hands messy one time I stead of for every egg.
We quote Ma Ingalls often in our whole extended family. Now modern nutritional science explains why eggnog is a healthy, energy-boosting snack with the eggs, whole milk & cream. I don’t think we ever separated the egg whites when I was a kid; maybe that is for a frothy topping on special occasions. I haven’t made it in years; need to get my Little House Cookbook out. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for sharing this recipe - and the cookbook! I am reading Farmer Boy now also - have lost track of how many times since I read it to students every year when I was in the classroom. Wonderful!
I love the Little House books, and have the cookbook. So nice to hear you reading this to the children. I will try your mayo too. When I used to make mayo no one had emersion blenders, infact the blenders were pretty new.
Eggnog just may be my favorite drink ever!!Just ordered the cookbook! We are getting ready to start farmer boy, so this will be extra special for my kids. This was a great video, thanks for sharing!
Ever heard of swizzle? Same kind of drink used in northern Pennsylvania since before there was a Pennsylvania. It is vinegar based. Sounds awful, but actually is very refreshing.
The Little House cookbook has a recipe for switchel. (Probably the same thing under a different name.) It was a popular summertime drink made with vinegar. The cookbook also has instructions to make homemade apple cider vinegar, which can be used to make switchel/swizzle.
It’s so funny I just bought Egg Nog from the store this week. I was surprised to see it in the fridge section. I thought it was only sold in December. 1st time having it in summer. What a treat!
I was just thinking about how I could use my fresh raw quail eggs because they are not supposed to be able to carry salmonella! It would be a fun use for them too! I LOVE eggnog, but have not been able to enjoy it much since I have had a big lactose intolerance. But now that I haven't own fresh raw cow and goats milk, I could TOTALLY do this!!
When you read the "long winter".the whole town is starving,lads are risking their lives going to find stored wheat to feed everyone.Pa still goes out twice a day to feed the cow,letting in brutal cols each time.
I love eggnog and my mom alsways made it alcohol free, so us kids could have some too, she just made it with warm milk and sugar (Maple syrup not freely available in South Africa, so expensive) I have never tried making it as a cold drink, so have to try it
Farmer Boy is a wonderful book but it wasn't Pa. Farmer Boy is about Almanzo's family and his youth. It was Father Wilder, Almanzo's father who said that line. Alamanzo's mother made the eggnog.
I have a love-hate relationship with eggs. I cannot abide the smell of raw egg and I loathe the albumen. But I love love love the yolk. I'll try it just using the yolk.
its not folded in properly so to me it would taste like raw egg white. i pasteurise my eggs for mayo and i heat the mixture through for egg nog. we have it whenever we wish, year round🌹
This is so great! Thank you for sharing! Also, I wanted to ask about your kombucha that you keep on tap. I saw your kitchen tour video on FB & you mentioned it. I have been making kombucha for about a year now. I let it ferment & when it reaches the fermentation flavor of our choice we will harvest it. We put it in glass jugs & place it in the fridge. Do you guys have any videos on how you keep it on tap ready to drink on your counter the way you do? I'm nervous about doing it that way & ruining it.
I'm not really a fan of eggnog but this is still a great video! I have been scouring your videos for a bread and butter pickle canning recipe. I saw the one for dill pickles but no bread and butter. Do you have one? I just love your channel
#homesteadingcommunity, I have a question. I made egg nog following your instructions on Jan 18, 2019 and have almost a quart left. Do you think it is still good? How will i know without tasting it. It's not bright yellow but still had the same still yellow as in the beginning.
The egg whites are floating on top ⁉️ could you use half and half and use heavy cream for the topping I've made it before just using the whole eggs in a blender.
I have no access to farm fresh eggs, at least none that I could trust. How would one go about making this without them. We used to make eggnog using vanilla ice cream added to a mix that was purchased around the holidays years ago that was delicious but that mix was probably loaded with artificial everything.
You can also pasteurize your own. You need a thermometer to do this. Bring a pot of water to 140°F, place your eggs in the water, and maintain the temperature at 140°F for 4-5 minutes. Cool and refrigerate any you don't use right away. Hope this is helpful! 💕
Hi I’ve tried to look for grade b maple syrup but the all day grade A dark robust flavor… and then it’ll say formerly grade B.. is that the kind I should be buying? Thanks
I have a question, and I'm not sure the best place to post it, so I'm posting it here. I've wondered for a long time if your family has been affected by covid at all? No judgment either way--I'm honestly just curious because it has hit me twice, and everyone tells me they're so surprised because I "do all the right things," i.e. exercise, eat healthy, take supplements, etc. Apparently, I'm doing something wrong! And you guys seem to be faithfully uploading videos in which you all seem perfectly healthy, so I'm wondering what your secret is, I guess! Maybe I should be doing the elderberry syrup year-round?
We’ve had it at least twice… but not too bad either time. If you look back to the March 2020 videos you’ll see I was sick FOREVER!!! That was our first round with it. 😅
I've never seen it here in NY state either, (NY produces more maple syrup than Vermont - bigger state = more trees!) maybe what I make here would be grade B, who knows! Maybe if you go buy it from the producer they have some grade B on the back shelf or something?
I get it from my local community food co-op. I've also seen it on regular grocery store shelves along with the grade a syrup. The grade b is cheaper and more nutritious and flavorful.
Grade B is "Dark" maple syrup (as opposed to Light maple syrup which used to be called Grade A). "They" stopped the grade a and b for light and dark some years back.
I was like no way!! is she joking? so I googled "egg nog in Australia", first things that pop up is multiple videos of "Australian trys eggnog for the first time" lol
@@JenniferVeterans4truth lol I had no clue what was even in it until I watched this. We've had pre-packaged stuff on the shelf with milk the past few years or so but it doesn't seem to sell. Same with pumpkin pie it's not really a thing here either and honestly the thought of eating it doesn't sound appealing lol.
Here, we are/were blessed with pumpkins/squash and eggs, cheap and nourishing. Y’all have a mighty fine squash i enjoy here Jaradale. Thanks Australia.
Yes, especially if you prefer the taste of honey. It will change the flavor profile of course, but so does using maple syrup instead of sugar. I actually prefer using brown sugar, since the carbohydrates are all very similar, and high on the glycemic index. The flavor is my reasoning, my husband doesn’t care for the mineral taste of the grade B maple syrup, or the sulphuric taste of Sorghum syrup, I might try honey, and possible a dash of almond extract, give it that honey and almond essence, I can almost taste it, thanks for a yummy idea!
The alcohol acts as a preservative. However, since I'm not a drinker I would just make sure the eggs were pasteurized because there is no evidence to suggest that even fresh eggs are void of salmonella. No offense meant, Carolyn. Not one little bit. Love your videos!
Egg nog no way honey or maple syrup? Cane sugar My great grand motjers recipe can't be beat. maple Strup is gross in Egg nog sounds like when a neighnor used soyjern Comfort whiskey so gross. No one maes it better then me.

My eggs are from a farm but they are not yellow they are actually orange.
😋
Is that cheese in the big jars next to the garlic? Also this looks like it tastes amazing.
it's possible that almanzo's mother used maple sugar anyway!
I'm wondering if you think this could be made with coconut milk or almond milk???
I bet coconut milk is amazing, I’m glad you asked that, I’m sure Almond milk too, since they both have a creamy feel.
I have no access to farm fresh eggs, at least none that I could trust. How would one go about making this without them. We used to make eggnog using vanilla ice cream added to a mix that was purchased around the holidays years ago that was delicious but that mix was probably loaded with artificial everything.
You can use pasteurized eggs if they are available in your area
You can also pasteurize your own. You need a thermometer to do this. Bring a pot of water to 140°F, place your eggs in the water, and maintain the temperature at 140°F for 4-5 minutes. Cool and refrigerate any you don't use right away.
Hope this is helpful! 💕
Where to get grade B maple syrup?
Hi
I’ve tried to look for grade b maple syrup but the all day grade A dark robust flavor… and then it’ll say formerly grade B.. is that the kind I should be buying? Thanks
❤️🥳❤️👍👍👍
I have a question, and I'm not sure the best place to post it, so I'm posting it here. I've wondered for a long time if your family has been affected by covid at all? No judgment either way--I'm honestly just curious because it has hit me twice, and everyone tells me they're so surprised because I "do all the right things," i.e. exercise, eat healthy, take supplements, etc. Apparently, I'm doing something wrong! And you guys seem to be faithfully uploading videos in which you all seem perfectly healthy, so I'm wondering what your secret is, I guess! Maybe I should be doing the elderberry syrup year-round?
We’ve had it at least twice… but not too bad either time. If you look back to the March 2020 videos you’ll see I was sick FOREVER!!! That was our first round with it. 😅
Where does one find grade B maple syrup? I haven't seen it before.
It is very hard to find in Texas!
Online
I've never seen it here in NY state either, (NY produces more maple syrup than Vermont - bigger state = more trees!) maybe what I make here would be grade B, who knows! Maybe if you go buy it from the producer they have some grade B on the back shelf or something?
I get it from my local community food co-op. I've also seen it on regular grocery store shelves along with the grade a syrup. The grade b is cheaper and more nutritious and flavorful.
Grade B is "Dark" maple syrup (as opposed to Light maple syrup which used to be called Grade A). "They" stopped the grade a and b for light and dark some years back.
This may sound crazy but do you sell your milk? I’m local to you and looking for a source. :)
Where do you find Grade B Maple Syrup. I can’t ever find it.
Grade B is the same as "Dark" maple syrup.
I've literally never had eggnog. It's not really a thing we have in Australia.
I was like no way!! is she joking? so I googled "egg nog in Australia", first things that pop up is multiple videos of "Australian trys eggnog for the first time" lol
@@JenniferVeterans4truth lol I had no clue what was even in it until I watched this. We've had pre-packaged stuff on the shelf with milk the past few years or so but it doesn't seem to sell. Same with pumpkin pie it's not really a thing here either and honestly the thought of eating it doesn't sound appealing lol.
Here, we are/were blessed with pumpkins/squash and eggs, cheap and nourishing. Y’all have a mighty fine squash i enjoy here Jaradale. Thanks Australia.
😳 You definitely have to try it now! Its delicious!
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Yes, especially if you prefer the taste of honey. It will change the flavor profile of course, but so does using maple syrup instead of sugar. I actually prefer using brown sugar, since the carbohydrates are all very similar, and high on the glycemic index. The flavor is my reasoning, my husband doesn’t care for the mineral taste of the grade B maple syrup, or the sulphuric taste of Sorghum syrup, I might try honey, and possible a dash of almond extract, give it that honey and almond essence, I can almost taste it, thanks for a yummy idea!
Oh, Agave might be a good neutral flavor too !
Can this drink be canned ?
The alcohol acts as a preservative. However, since I'm not a drinker I would just make sure the eggs were pasteurized because there is no evidence to suggest that even fresh eggs are void of salmonella. No offense meant, Carolyn. Not one little bit. Love your videos!
I was just thinking about how I could use my fresh raw quail eggs because they can't carry salmonella! It would be a fun use for them too!
Would you drink this pregnant?
Ehh nog on a hot day would make me vomit and die lmfao
Egg nog no way honey or maple syrup? Cane sugar My great grand motjers recipe can't be beat. maple Strup is gross in Egg nog sounds like when a neighnor used soyjern Comfort whiskey so gross. No one maes it better then me.
Be careful using store bought cream.. it has carrageenan in it 😡
*Raw Egg Energy Drink?? WTF...*
