Golden Vanilla “Eggnog”

Ingredients

• 1 cup vanilla flavored non-dairy milk of choice, unsweetened
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 scoop vanilla flavored collagen powder
• 1 pasture-raised egg yolk
• 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
• Cinnamon stick (optional)
• Dried edible rose petals (optional)

Method

Step 1

In a high-speed blender, add milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, and collagen powder and blend until smooth.

Step 2

Transfer the liquid to a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a low simmer.

Step 3

Place the egg yolk in a small bowl. Once the milk is simmering, slowly pour one quarter of the hot milk over the egg yolk while whisking constantly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the pot with the remaining milk and return to a slow simmer while stirring until thickened (it should coat the back of a spoon when dipped).

Step 5

Once ready, strain the mixture with a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps and serve with a pinch of ground black pepper and optional cinnamon stick and rose petals.
