Nothing ever goes to waste at the JFA household. If the chickens and other animals do not eat it, then any leftovers are used in other cooking or dehydrated and preserved. With all the holiday meals and beverages you may have some leftovers and not sure what to do with all of them. I have a number of uses for left over eggnog, so even if you have just a small amount left over, there's no reason to toss it out when you can make something that is just as tasty. And you don't have to be limited to just the holiday season, I offer a basic eggnog recipe so you can make these year round even if the stores only carry eggnog from November through December. In addition, eggnog can be frozen and used in baking or for popsicles without any added effort. I also make icecubes with left over eggnog to use in milk based beverages ,such as smoothies ((try adding some to chocolate milk), or in baked goods. For an added benefit, sprinkle some nutmeg into your eggnog, or on your whipped cream or yogurt topping, it is loaded with Vitamins, like vitamin C, and minerals such as Calcium. It also contains myristicin, known to minimize stress.
