The History Of Eggnog Via The Tastes Of Life…

Eggnog’s origins can be traced back to medieval Britain, where it was initially known as “posset,” a hot, milky ale-like drink. Over the centuries, this beverage evolved, and by the 18th century, it had made its way to the American colonies. The term “eggnog” is believed to have originated from the word “noggin,” which referred to a small wooden mug used to serve alcoholic beverages. Combining eggs, dairy, and spirits, eggnog quickly became a symbol of celebration during the holiday season.
