Background and History

Rich Almond Milk Eggnog is a dairy-free twist on the classic holiday beverage, eggnog. Originating in medieval Britain, eggnog evolved into a festive and creamy concoction enjoyed during Christmas and New Year celebrations. This version, made with almond milk, preserves the traditional richness and flavor, catering to those with dairy sensitivities or preferences.

In a separate clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Fold Egg Whites
