Eggnog is a Christmas drink typical of several countries, such as Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia. As the name suggests, eggnog is made with eggs that are beaten with milk, spices and often even a liqueur. Here we present a vegan and healthier version of eggnog, in this way we don’t lose its typical holiday aroma but we can keep an eye on health! In fact, this variant of eggnog is naturally sweet thanks to dates and raisins and is enriched with spices, with antioxidant power and useful to keep blood sugar under control.
Ingredients
