« Eggnog or eggnog is a drink that made it famous in Europe in the 1930s. This drink traditionally served on Christmas Eve was also enjoyed throughout the winter. Composed of milk, cream, sugar and an egg yolk, it is flavored with nutmeg or cinnamon. The traditional version includes a brandy, such as brandy, rum or whiskey.

Today the eggnog remains a classic in the Christmas tradition. But outside of the holiday season it is difficult to get it in stores. Fortunately, by cooking it yourself using our recipe, you don't have to deprive yourself of it the rest of the year.

In this homemade version, inspired by the fragrant orange blossom very popular in baking, I have infused it with FloralTea for a most successful variation: a creamy and luxurious drink with an irresistible floral and spice scent.

Widely used in herbal medicine to relieve sleep disorders and strengthen the digestive system, orange blossom, combined here with orange peel, lily flower, cinnamon and rooibos in herbal tea, make this homemade eggnog a delight with inviting aromas and digestive and soothing virtues.

In this period of forced isolation, this year replace the traditional Easter coconut race with a beautiful eggnog recipe to cook with the family. A comforting beverage, a simple indoors activity, with easy-to-find ingredients.

Take care of yourself and your family, safe at home! »
