"Eggnog is a timeless holiday ritual, a beloved beverage many of us look forward to each winter. It's creamy, sweet, and spiced, and may or may not be warming and boozy, depending on how and when you serve it. But the classic eggnog recipe calls for eggs, both whole milk and heavy cream, and sugar - the finished result is incredibly rich."
"To combine tea and eggnog, start with a ratio of 1 cup of tea to a ½ cup of eggnog. While you're making your tea, heat up your eggnog. Either stir it continuously over low heat on your stove, or microwave it in a mug for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between."
Combining eggnog and tea produces a creamy, spiced drink that trims eggnog's thickness while amplifying aromatic complexity. Eggnog brings nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, eggs, milk, cream, and sugar; tea introduces fragrant spices and brightens the overall profile. Chai is an especially good match because its ginger, cardamom, peppercorn, and earthy black tea harmonize with eggnog's nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves for complexity and balance. Use a starting ratio of 1 cup tea to a ½ cup eggnog, warm the eggnog gently on the stove or in short microwave bursts, and finish with extra spices or whole garnishes as desired.
