Festive Recipe

Working in a coffee shop isn’t too bad. I get to eat and drink almost anything there for free. In the run up to Christmas we’ve been serving eggnog lattes. These are alright, but nowhere near as good as what I invented today.

The Festive Vanilla Nogshake

You will need:
3 big scoops or 0.6lbs or 270g of ice cream
1 cup or 240 ml of eggnog
50ml or a double shot of brandy

Throw ingredients into blender and pulse for 20-30 seconds; slightly longer than a normal milkshake because eggnog is so darned thick. Pour into a pint glass and top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg, if you so desire. Suck through a straw until you can suck no more.

Make sure you have a friend on hand to help you finish it off. It’s very, very rich.

Variations: Chocolate ice cream gives and even richer flavour. Mint Choc Chip ice cream is wrong.
