Sweeten/Fix Eggnog
I made some non-alcoholic eggnog using the same recipe I had previously used but this time it came out too eggy (tastes a bit like tapioca but too much egg taste, even for eggnog). Is there a quick or easy fix to sweeten the eggnog to balance the eggy taste? Is adding sugar the best way?
Best Answer
Sugar won't dissolve enough.
You should use a simple syrup. Equal parts sugar and water, boiled to dissolve then cooled.
I get that eggy flavor in my eggnog when I overcook it. Another way to try and mask it is to add more rum flavoring.
