想知道什麼是Eggnog嗎？

聖誕節剛過，不知道同學有沒有在任何場合看過一種叫做”egg nog”蛋酒的傳統聖誕節飲品呢?

Eggnog, egg nog or egg-nog, historically also known as milk punch or egg milk punch, is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based beverage. It is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, whipped egg whites, and egg yolks.

Eggnog通常會有幾種固定成分如:牛奶，糖，鮮奶油以及雞蛋等材料，

後來大家會加入各種不同酒精做成不同風味的調酒。

While culinary historians debate its exact lineage, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval Britain “posset,” a hot, milky, ale-like drink. By the 13th century, monks were known to drink a posset with eggs and figs. Milk, eggs, and sherry were foods of the wealthy, so eggnog was often used in toasts to prosperity and good health.

沒有人能確認蛋酒真正的來源，但根據大眾說法是來自於英國，因為早在十三世紀時，英國的修道士就會喝加了蛋與無花果製成的奶酒。後來就演變出各種版本，以不同的奶與酒類搭配，做為社交場合的飲品。
