4 cups Community New Orleans Blend® Coffee and Chicory, brewed
18 cloves
12 egg yolks
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 cups heavy cream
1 cup bourbon (optional)
1/2 cup brandy (optional)
Nutmeg to garnish
Community New Orleans Blend® Coffee and Chicory Ground powder to garnish
In a medium saucepan combine 2 cups of the sugar, coffee and cloves. Cook on medium heat until reduced to 4 cups to create coffee syrup. Remove cloves from coffee syrup mixture and refrigerate for 6 hours or until cold.
Beat egg yolks, powdered sugar and vanilla until sugar is completely dissolved and mixture begins to thicken. Add 4 cups heavy whipping cream and whip until it is completely incorporated. Add 4 cups of coffee syrup, 1 cup of bourbon and 1/2 cup of brandy (or eliminate the alcohol, if you wish). Refrigerate for 2 hours.
To make whipped cream topping combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. Whip until it reaches the proper consistency for topping. Serve on top of eggnog and garnish with ground nutmeg and ground Community New Orleans Blend.
