Green Pact Compliant Eggnog

You will need:

½ gallon of milk
4 eggs
10 teaspoons of honey
½ teaspoon of salt

Cook on stove on medium low heat for ½ hour, stirring constantly. Let sit until cool.

@Nestor was kind enough to suggest vanillin as a non-plant-based vanilla; I ended up skipping on it as the honey I used had a very strong flavor.

    I usually make mine without, and then add some to the glass if I feel like it. But you remind me I have some Bailey's in the fridge I could try mixing with it. Though I suspect it would no longer Green Pact compliant at that point... >.> <.<

    I don't think rotmeth would go well with eggnog :s
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    US gallon (so assuming Google hasn't failed me, about 1 1/5 UK gallon).

    If it contained alcohol I wouldn't be able to have a glass before work. Well...not and expect to drive there in one piece. :D Making it with no booze lets me have some whenever I want. :smiley:

    Now that said, if you know a no-plant-alcohol that would go well with the above, by all means try it out and post an addendum. ;) My personal alcohol knowledge is lacking, so I'm unwilling to try that myself.

    if you are counting honey as being non-plant derived you could add mead.

    given that honey is derived from plants via bees i think you are on thin ice with the whole idea green pact wise.

    Maybe mead? Since you are adding honey anyway.

    As long as it is pure mead, just water, honey and yeast (which is a fungus not plant) it should be fine.

    I don't know, though, I don't drink so I don't even know how most alcoholic beverages taste.

    Ah, but there I actually know I'm on fairly firm footing. The Green Lady specifically OK'd honey and dairy products:
    However, dairy products, honey, mushrooms, and insects are eaten with zest by all but the most ultra-zealous of Pact Bosmer.

    And if those ultra-zealous Pact Bosmer don't like it the way I made it, well they're free to submit their own recipes. ;)

    The latter seems more likely. :p

    Though, I was wondering what was traditionally supposed to go in there. I figured whiskey... so, I guess, close enough?

    The handful of times I've added alcohol to it it was brandy. But I've seen the aforementioned Baily's.

    Brandy, rum or bourbon. I've usually seen bourbon, but some recipes even use all three.

    I love Braunschweiger and imagine this as the main ingredient. I've always hoped some restaurant near me would have a seasonal Braunschweiger milkshake.

    I prefer bourbon because it has more of a smoky flavor to it :*

    Your recipe sounds good, honey is an intriguing flavor for this. Low fat too. Should be yum.

    If you want one of the ones that has alcohol in it, see the following. Originally the alcohol was a way to preserve the milk before refrigeration. The flavor changes dramatically over time, but make no mistake, this is a cocktail. Adults only. A certain amount of alcohol is needed to make it "shelf stable". Note, the following age in the fridge, and you should age any eggnog in the refrigerator for best results, and safety.

    I had a glass this morning and the honey flavor really stands out. I haven't decided if I like it better than my traditional recipe (which is same as what I posted, but replace the 10 teaspoons of honey with 2/3 cup white sugar, and add 2 teaspoons of vanilla for flavor) but it's definitely drinkable.

    I haven't tried it with any sort of alcohol in it yet.
