Ok so it’s not the holiday season yet, but SWIM just had an extremely pleasant nutmeg oil trip a few days ago and started thinking about eggnog.
I have made homemade eggnog before. One of the main spices used in eggnog is nutmeg. Eggnog is basically a mix of milk and eggs, cooked to make watered down custard that’s mixed with cream, sweetened and flavored with nutmeg and a few other spices.
The eggs in the eggnog act as an emulsifier allowing oils to mix with milk. That means if you used nutmeg oil instead of the typical nutmeg powder to add spice to the eggnog, because of the eggs, the oil would stay mixed into the eggnog. It wouldn’t separate.
That got me thinking, since SWIM had such a pleasurable experience with nutmeg oil a few days ago, what if you made eggnog using nutmeg oil, and added a little more than you normally would. Lets say about 0.25 ml per cup. Would the nutmeg oil flavor be way too dominant at that amount? Would it ruin the eggnog? Or would the sweetness of the eggnog counter the nutmeg spiciness?
Well, SWIM is going to test this out. He really greatly enjoyed the nutmeg oil trip and thinks it would be cool to have a nice tasting psychedelic drink. This would be GREAT for the holidays when you have enough time off from work to be able to enjoy a 36 hour nutmeg trip.
Has anyone else tried this? Is the taste too strong?
