Egg Nog flavored coffee that's smoothing and great for lifting the spirits and warming the heart. This rich flavored drink was especially designed for cold Christmas nights. Rich with rum and warm sps. Egg Nog started in England. Nog is an old English word that was used to describe a kind of strong beer back in the seventeenth century. It was often used to toast ones health. It was a drink more commonly enjoyed by the upper class mostly because there was no refrigeration and all the farms belonged to the big estates. Those who could get milk and eggs to make Egg Nog mixed it with brandy or Madeira or even sherry. But, it became most popular in America, where farms and dairy products were plentiful, as was rum which was far more affordable than the heavily taxed brandy.
