Egg nog is a traditional holiday drink that is enjoyed by many during the festive season. It is typically made with milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. However, for those looking to add a nutritional boost to their egg nog, incorporating collagen powder can be a great option. Collagen powder is derived from animal sources and is known for its potential benefits in promoting skin health, joint health, and overall well-being.
To make egg nog with collagen powder, follow the recipe below:
Ingredients:
4 cups of whole milk
1 cup of heavy cream
½ cup of granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
2 scoops (approximately 20 grams) of collagen powder
Instructions:
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream. Heat over medium-low heat until it reaches a simmer.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined.
Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and collagen powder until fully incorporated.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a pitcher or serving glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Serve cold and garnish with additional cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Enjoy your homemade egg nog with collagen powder!
