Recipe: Eggnog Health and Mana Potions

My boyfriend and one of my best friends absolutely loves League of Legends. From the knowledge I know, during this time of year, the regular health and mana potions on the game can be traded for eggnog versions of them. I have found the recipe that involves this festive holiday drink with one of the top games in the world right now.

Recipe from: Gourmet Gaming

This recipe serves 4-6.

What you will need: A whisk, three mixing bowls, a piping bag and nozzle, and a fine grater.

Ingredients:

4 Eggs (Separated & Room Temperature)

75g / ⅓ Cup Caster/Superfine Sugar

500ml / 20 fl oz. Whole Milk

225ml / 1 Cup Double/Heavy Cream

85ml / 3 fl oz. Bourbon

2 Tablespoons Sugar

Fresh Nutmeg

Blue Food Colouring

1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder

To Garnish:

110ml / ½ Cup Double/Heavy Cream

1 Tablespoon Icing/Confectioners Sugar

Blue Food Colouring

1 Teaspoon Cocoa Powder

Fresh Nutmeg

Making the Garnish:

1. Whisk together the cream and icing/confectioners sugar until soft peaks form. Divide the cream in half. Add blue food colouring to one half, and cocoa powder to the other. Mix well and set the cream aside while you prepare the drinks

Making the Eggnog Potions:

1. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale, then gradually add the sugar and continue to beat for about 5 minutes. Add the milk, cream and bourbon, a sprinkling of freshly grated nutmeg, and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the two tablespoons of sugar and continue to beat until the peaks stiffen. Whisk the egg whites into the prepared egg yolk mixture until well combined.
3. At this time, divide the mixture in two. One will become the Health potion, the other will be the Mana potion. To one mixture, add a dash of blue food colouring and mix. To the other, sieve in the cocoa powder and mix.
4. Pour the Eggnog Mana and Health potions into individual glasses, top with a piped swirl of corresponding whipped cream and a garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
