We don't have eggnog or this kind of drink in my country, but all the ingredients are available so I'm curious. How do you drink it? Is it like drinking a beer or a hot chocolate? I really wonder because during the holidays it's summer over here, I could try that for winter.

@Bunny_2007 HI Bunny and happy new year! Townsends is a place you can always come and feel at home - this is what the internet should be. And Jon, his daughter Ivy, Aaron, and all the rest are like your brothers and sisters and neighbors. This is a very special place as well of course as the Nutmeg Tavern. Not sure if nutmeg was ever used as tobacco - bu isn't it funny how things can trigger memories? My grandpa smoked a pipe and every time I smell a pipe I think of my grandfather (on my dad's side). My brother recently sent me very old tin types of my great grandmother (I don't think its my grandmother - they were taken in Germany.... ) My mom has passed (and my dad) - my mom was the keeper of the genealogy - so I don't really know. The point is that you should never throw away family - its our link to where we came from. Have a wonderful new year! ~ Cyn

The Navy evidently had a version called "Admiral's Flip" that used champagne instead of ale. I don't know if it would be any better, but since it was more costly, it was considered to be suitable for admirals.

Watching this, I was thinking I’m not much of a beer fan. But I am a cider fan. Knowing that a version was made with champagne makes me much more confident about swapping out the ale for hard cider!
@@harrymills2770 In a city or large town, a Franklin stove is an option. Out on the frontier, not so much. No roads, no teamsters to haul anything on them, and not enough business to attract a teamster. Additionally, most of the folks on the frontier were largely penniless. If you couldn't make it or barter for it, you didn't need it.
This nutmeg surprise is delicious! What's in it? Concentrated nutmeg with fresh nutmeg and nutmeg, and just a touch of nutmeg butter. Amazing. I do believe that topping this with nutmeg would make this legendary!
Thanks, Jon for the education! As a kid in the late 1960's we had in the family...a log cabin! Smelled like woodsmoke & a bit chilly in the winter, but we rocked by the masmerizing fire late at night and talked. A wash stand was by the door. To get water we took a pail to the drilled well in the yard and let down a tubular, sheet metal bucket. Hold the bucket over the pail and pull the trigger on top to drop water into the pail. Inside, ladle water into a bowl, wash your hands...and throw the dirty water off the end of the porch. Dad would bank the coals before bed, and in the morning he would be cooking eggs, bacon, and hash browns on the fireplace while I stayed in the warm bunk just a little longer. Rayo kerosene lamps were the light until he electrified the place. Memories of my fine Dad I'll always treasure. (Sorry to digress from "flip"! The cabin got me.)
My aunt and uncle lived in a half dugout with a small entry where there was a pitcher of water to clean up. The main room was everything else, kitchen,family room, dining area…. There was no electricity and a bunkhouse and outhouse. The warmth, the glow of kerosene chimney lamps and being in the country was the best experience ever. This was in the 50s. In the 60s they got electricity (REA), telephone (neighbors did maintenance of the lines,no phone company would maintain the lines)and indoor toilet. I was so impressed by the Mami Eisenhower pink bathroom fixtures. My grandfather lived down the road in a 1 room log cabin with a potbelly stove for heat. That house never got an indoor toilet. I am incredibly lucky to have had this experience.
That sounds like a nice place to go with the family on vacation once or twice a year. Although, I bet the novelty of not having modern conveniences would wear off pretty quick if one had to live there year round. 😄 👍
I'm from southern West Virginia and I remember my grandma whipping up something similar to this around the holidays every year. I make my own variation of it today. On a side note, when I was younger there wasn't always a lot of money to go around during the holiday season. But my family still enjoyed the hell out of it just as if we were millionaires because we had one another. Even now that I'm 43 with a wife and 4 kids of my own I still make sure that the holidays are not so much about WHAT you have but WHO you have. At any rate, God bless each and every one of you and I wish you each the best in the New Year.
I love what you do to educate folks about 18th Century living. I run a youth program called the "1804 Club," in which kids, 11 to 18 years old, study the practices, technology, and skills that were used on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I'm going to try modifying this recipe to make it non-alcoholic so it can be served to our club members. Your cooking videos have been a huge inspiration for us. Thank you, Townsend's, for all you do!
I strongly applaud what you do! Here and there I'll run across a gal who is bored and thinks my ability to sew and embroidery is really cool. I hear "You are so talented. Wish I cud do that. My mom never did anything like that but my grandma did" I'm 65yrs old. As much as I have offered to engage these work frnds with small fool proof projects they see a needle and react like I'm asking them to handle a snake! One of these days I'll find a brave heart who will give it a go. I have no desire to work at youth club but adults like you are priceless for wanting to engage young folk. Years ago I was at a boy scout camp with my history group for a Medieval sewing day. I ran into a Scout Master who told me the Hip Hop gangster culture has deeply erroded the enrollment of newcomers to the Scouts on all levels. I'm glad I was in Brownies, Girl Scouts, 4-H, went to YWCA camp. Canoeing, chopping firewood with a hatchet, putting up a tent, swim lessons...All this camping was in elementary school- a 4th grade girl being EXPECTED to chop her share of the nights firewood- it was NORMAL back in the 60's. No terrified parents 'contacted' YWCA administration for 'age inappropriate' activities. Camp was great! I became so adept with a canoe that a couple years later I QUALIFIED to NOT HAVE A COUNSELOR in my craft! I was estatic and felt so grown-up. Bravo for your contribution!
@@steveng6704 I made it for our youth group. They didn't care for it at all! LOL With this recipe, there is a very high risk of not mixing the eggs in properly and what you end up with is something that looks a lot like egg-drop soup, but not nearly as tasty.
Years ago, while working on a research paper in college, I was reading about a gathering in the Colonial New England and it mentioned having mugs of ale by the fireplace and pouring frothed eggs in there. I think this finally answers the questions in my mind as to what exactly they were drinking. Thanks!
Eggs were also used to make stale beer palatable. I remember seeing a video on that subject, either by the same person that made this video or the guy that likes to try ancient Roman recipes.
Jon, this drink is still very popular in the UK. Especially at Christmas. It's called Egg Flip. In addition to drinking it neat (and always cold) it is used to make another drink called Snowball. That drink, popular with old ladies at Christmas, is Half Egg Flip topped up with Lemonade. (c) Oakden: These Victorian Egg Flip recipes (from 1862 and 1863) stem from an even earlier drink. The term ‘Flip’, first used in 1695, describes a mixture of beer, rum, and sugar, heated with a red-hot iron (like an iron poker) heated in the fire. Egg Flip, unlike Eggnog, is drunk warm and uses both ale and rum - traditionally the finished drink is poured continuously between large jugs to make it frothy before pouring into glasses - like a traditional Butterbeer.
Townsends is no doubt one of the most wholesome channels I've ever come across on youtube. It's like magic, everytime I come here and watch the video, somehow I always feel very good afterwards 😮 Thank you Jon and crew for everything you've done on this channel. Happy new year, folks!! 🙌
Holy smokes this is SO good! It’s so rich and delicious. The perfect warm up drink. I am so happy we tried this, it’s just so comforting and delicious.
If he ran a tavern/ inn with 18th century food, drink, accommodations, atmosphere and language I would be down for a visit. Optional classes on making various food items, drink items, or crafts and practical skills for people of all ages and I could see it being popular for students as well during the week.
This reminds me of a tudor style "buttered beer", made essentially the same with the omission of rum and the addition of a good ounce or two of butter. Bring ale up to almost a boil but not so much that it froths excessively, melt in your butter, sugar, nutmeg and eggs while stirring vigorously, serve thus or with a little cream for richness. Incredibly rich, indulgent and most of all, warming. a single sip seems to fill the body with heat even while in the snow, and the perfect beverage for gathering around a hearth with friends on a cold night. Also, Ive got to forge a few toddy rods now.
6:09 You made me feel like a great friend of yours when you said that. This is why I love your channel. It involves 3 things I love. History, cooking and an fantastic host. Thank you very much and have a happy new year 😁

When I'm sick I warm up Stout or any other Dark Beer with Honey and Rum or Brandy, with some Cinnamon, Aniseed, Nutmeg and Cloves. Then I drink it quickly and crawl back into bed and sleep it off. I learned about that Drink as a Apprentice in the Karlsberg Brewery in Germany. Most of the time I have to do this only once. We just called it a "Hot Spiced Beer" This seems be something similar and most likely will work the same way.
You can change beer for wine and get a similarly awesome drink. Drank this once during college when i had a few hours to kill between 2 courses. I was dizzy going to the 2nd class, but i wasn't cold for the rest of the day (mid-winter).
@@jogoodwin7352 I'm not sure I would recommend alcohol when you're sick, as it is dehydrating and can interfere with your circulation (alcohol depresses your heartrate). Fluids are absolutely vital for recovering from nearly all illnesses. If you do drink alcohol, keep in mind that you need to try harder to stay hydrated. Personally, I avoid alcohol (and coffee, for the same reasons) completely when I'm sick. Of course, take that spiced ale and poach a pear in it: perfect upset-tummy friendly desert that you could even serve at a party!
@@sophiejones7727 it's not unusual that Baby Boomers were given hot toddies as children when we were sick. Burnt toast with black tea helped to stop diahrea- it worked ! The toddies helped us sleep.. The alcohol used was a tiny amount. I totally get your cocern tho. I love water and have always endorsed drinking a lot of it- wether sick or not. Thank you for expressing your concerns.
As much as I enjoy all of your videos, there is something warm, endearing, and welcoming about your simpler videos like this one. Keep up the good work! Happy New Year!
AC Black Flag Anne: Another? Edward: Rum Flip this time. Anne: Great, and where am I to find fresh eggs around here? Little else but piss and insects. Edward: We’re working on that
Hey John, now that you have the cabin done, as you do any required maintenance, you could do 'cabin maintenance, videos, as I'm sure it requires some from time to time.
Me, too. I remember it from my grandmother and gr-grandmother. Although, I think I remember my gr-grandmother saying, "It wasn't anything special too it. All you do is just add a little brandy to the egg". I'm guessing this was the way it was done when she was born in the late Victorian era. My gr-grandmother may have mentioned the part about the brandy b/c her husband was from France (ergo, the reference to an alcohol inclusion).
@@rachelcoleman4693 in continental europe they make a type of eggnog from eggs, brandy and sugar. it is call eiercognac in german, and commonly translated as egg flip in english. there are so many kinds of 'eggnogg' across europe and america, its hard to know exactly which is which.
Thank you for this episode! My brothers and I were intrigued enough to try this recipe on New Year's Eve. We used a stout as the base (not an ale) and a clear, unspiced rum. The end result was a drink that seemed thin but was surprisingly creamy on the tongue, reminiscent of Bailey's but stronger. We loved it and this is a great dairy-free alternative to Bailey's for the lactose intolerant!
@@zang9147 It doesn't say exactly how much ale but the recipe is for a quart of flip. So, probably a little over a pint of ale plus 6 oz of rum, eggs, sugar and spice? 2, 12 oz bottles of ale would make more than a quart but would be pretty close.
No matter what YT suggests or what pops up, I always find myself watching one or more correctly three or four of your videos. Thank you for the great recipes and education. I appreciate you.
I’m making this for a Halloween party this weekend - my friends and I normally love historical fall festivals, but of course they were all canceled this year 😢. So we’re bringing a little history to Halloween! I just tested out a mini batch and it’s soooooo GOOD! They’re gonna love it ❤️ thanks Townsends!
This is so interesting! I'm from Ireland and my Dad used to make a drink he called 'egg flip' which he made using a mixture of eggs and orange juice. I thought he'd made up that name! I love your channel by the way.
I love it when Jon whips up the food and drink items from this time period. I've read through the Alan Lewrie naval adventures written by Dewey Lambdin (written about the late 1700's into the mid-1800's period), as well as the Richard Bolitho novels written by Douglas Reeman (for roughly the same time period). Many of the food items here, such as Flip, are featured in the novels, and Jon gives them a living embodiment of what the characters drank and ate. It gives another glimpse as to how those characters could have lived. Happy New Year!
speaking of aeration , I use to love eggnog as a kid but as an adult not so much until (this year) I learned about putting it in a cocktail shaker with ice and your rum and giving it a healthy shake. The aeration makes it so much more drinkable and nice.
"Homeless man celebrates the Christmas season by making traditional Hobo Eggnog using leftover eggs, warm beer and rum in make shift temporary accommodation"
Looks like an ancient version of egg nog to me. Great to see another warm ale recipe. Drinking warm beer is a classic for xmas markets here in Belgium. Happy New Year, John !
I don't know how Jon finds the time and energy to run a business, to undertake all of these projects (such as building a log cabin), and to produce cooking videos, and to edit and post them. And he does this year after year. I regard him with awe.
lol he doesn't edit the videos and most of the work building the cabin was other people. He has dozens of people working for him who are all apparently happy to do weird re-enactment projects when he summons them. the videos are basically his marketing function AND he sells premium access to videos.
@@ssl3546 -- Does the owner of a local bakery produce videos and organize projects? All of the time and effort that the owner devotes to such activities are at the expense of his main business (running a bakery). Operating a bakery would be demanding enough for most mortals. Even if he delegates much of the work (of producing videos) to others, he must still recruit people, manage them, pay them, etc. He's running two separate businesses.
@3:46 Just look at that concentration on John's face. You know he wants this to be perfect! Your description of the flavor at the end has convinced me to give this a try.
I write about immortal characters in the modern world. I love following this channel because it helps inform me of older food and drink they could have enjoyed in the past and still have a taste for.
It's not the brandy, it's the tempering. You temper your eggs by adding hot stuff to them. If you just dump your egg mixture into hot stuff, yes, they'd curdle. Kinda weird, no?
Thanks for this recipe. My wife’s cousin came in from Wisconsin for a Kentucky Christmas holiday- no snow-. I made this for the three of us. My wife didn’t care for it but both her Cousin and I enjoyed it. Very creative I likely would never have thought about that combination of ingredients.
Jon: You could drink this all day long.
Also Jon: [on the floor face down]
@Will Survive sometimes old red hot iron makes 'em jump alive like new
Only problem is: Alcohol boils and evaporates at 172 F, so that beer is probably near-beer by the time the rum hits it.
@@RollerPigg Actually, no, alcohol does not evaporate THAT quickly.
Joe Stubbernubbensteingenson They tell you not to boil the ale, and considering it’s mostly water I don’t see the alcohol cooking off since it’s miscible. You’d need to bring it to a rolling boil.
And that, my friends, is why they call that drink flip.
I work in a cocktail bar and lemme just say that among cocktail lovers, the flip has not been forgotten. One of my favorite winter drinks.
Port wine flip with an optional dash of Creme de Cacao and shavings of nutmeg on top is great, as is the Negroni flip!
Yes you're right!! I totally forgot about that! I've seen flip on the menus of some pretty awesome cocktail bars.. wow. You just gave me such nostalgia..

@Chrome Book - Suite yourself. It's replaced eggnog for my family at this point.
@Chrome Book - ... This is a youtube comment section. None of us are "relevant." Especially considering the original comment is over a year old. I'd suggest trying some of the recipes on this channel, rather than trolling random comments.
Thank you for typing up your experiences and notes. Have you tried an ale yet, or are you still using lager?
We don't have eggnog or this kind of drink in my country, but all the ingredients are available so I'm curious. How do you drink it? Is it like drinking a beer or a hot chocolate? I really wonder because during the holidays it's summer over here, I could try that for winter.
Do you still make it a lot? Drop the full new recipe if you've found ways to improve!

@Bunny_2007 HI Bunny and happy new year! Townsends is a place you can always come and feel at home - this is what the internet should be. And Jon, his daughter Ivy, Aaron, and all the rest are like your brothers and sisters and neighbors. This is a very special place as well of course as the Nutmeg Tavern. Not sure if nutmeg was ever used as tobacco - bu isn't it funny how things can trigger memories? My grandpa smoked a pipe and every time I smell a pipe I think of my grandfather (on my dad's side). My brother recently sent me very old tin types of my great grandmother (I don't think its my grandmother - they were taken in Germany.... ) My mom has passed (and my dad) - my mom was the keeper of the genealogy - so I don't really know. The point is that you should never throw away family - its our link to where we came from. Have a wonderful new year! ~ Cyn

The Navy evidently had a version called "Admiral's Flip" that used champagne instead of ale. I don't know if it would be any better, but since it was more costly, it was considered to be suitable for admirals.
I am allergic to malt, so am quite interested in how that was put together.

I've never seen you happier than when you're in your cabin
Doesn't appear to be a very snug cabin. The Franklin Stove was a thing as early as the 18th Century, so it wouldn't be an anachronism.
It's because he has a fireplace that could sleep 7 people!! That would be MY happy place!
@@harrymills2770 In a city or large town, a Franklin stove is an option. Out on the frontier, not so much. No roads, no teamsters to haul anything on them, and not enough business to attract a teamster. Additionally, most of the folks on the frontier were largely penniless. If you couldn't make it or barter for it, you didn't need it.

Amazing. I do believe that topping this with nutmeg would make this legendary!

Thanks, Jon for the education! As a kid in the late 1960's we had in the family...a log cabin! Smelled like woodsmoke & a bit chilly in the winter, but we rocked by the masmerizing fire late at night and talked. A wash stand was by the door. To get water we took a pail to the drilled well in the yard and let down a tubular, sheet metal bucket. Hold the bucket over the pail and pull the trigger on top to drop water into the pail. Inside, ladle water into a bowl, wash your hands...and throw the dirty water off the end of the porch. Dad would bank the coals before bed, and in the morning he would be cooking eggs, bacon, and hash browns on the fireplace while I stayed in the warm bunk just a little longer. Rayo kerosene lamps were the light until he electrified the place. Memories of my fine Dad I'll always treasure. (Sorry to digress from "flip"! The cabin got me.)
My aunt and uncle lived in a half dugout with a small entry where there was a pitcher of water to clean up. The main room was everything else, kitchen,family room, dining area…. There was no electricity and a bunkhouse and outhouse. The warmth, the glow of kerosene chimney lamps and being in the country was the best experience ever. This was in the 50s. In the 60s they got electricity (REA), telephone (neighbors did maintenance of the lines,no phone company would maintain the lines)and indoor toilet. I was so impressed by the Mami Eisenhower pink bathroom fixtures. My grandfather lived down the road in a 1 room log cabin with a potbelly stove for heat. That house never got an indoor toilet. I am incredibly lucky to have had this experience.
That sounds like a nice place to go with the family on vacation once or twice a year. Although, I bet the novelty of not having modern conveniences would wear off pretty quick if one had to live there year round. 😄 👍
I'm from southern West Virginia and I remember my grandma whipping up something similar to this around the holidays every year. I make my own variation of it today. On a side note, when I was younger there wasn't always a lot of money to go around during the holiday season. But my family still enjoyed the hell out of it just as if we were millionaires because we had one another. Even now that I'm 43 with a wife and 4 kids of my own I still make sure that the holidays are not so much about WHAT you have but WHO you have. At any rate, God bless each and every one of you and I wish you each the best in the New Year.
I love what you do to educate folks about 18th Century living. I run a youth program called the "1804 Club," in which kids, 11 to 18 years old, study the practices, technology, and skills that were used on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I'm going to try modifying this recipe to make it non-alcoholic so it can be served to our club members. Your cooking videos have been a huge inspiration for us. Thank you, Townsend's, for all you do!
I strongly applaud what you do! Here and there I'll run across a gal who is bored and thinks my ability to sew and embroidery is really cool. I hear "You are so talented. Wish I cud do that. My mom never did anything like that but my grandma did" I'm 65yrs old. As much as I have offered to engage these work frnds with small fool proof projects they see a needle and react like I'm asking them to handle a snake! One of these days I'll find a brave heart who will give it a go. I have no desire to work at youth club but adults like you are priceless for wanting to engage young folk. Years ago I was at a boy scout camp with my history group for a Medieval sewing day. I ran into a Scout Master who told me the Hip Hop gangster culture has deeply erroded the enrollment of newcomers to the Scouts on all levels. I'm glad I was in Brownies, Girl Scouts, 4-H, went to YWCA camp. Canoeing, chopping firewood with a hatchet, putting up a tent, swim lessons...All this camping was in elementary school- a 4th grade girl being EXPECTED to chop her share of the nights firewood- it was NORMAL back in the 60's. No terrified parents 'contacted' YWCA administration for 'age inappropriate' activities. Camp was great! I became so adept with a canoe that a couple years later I QUALIFIED to NOT HAVE A COUNSELOR in my craft! I was estatic and felt so grown-up. Bravo for your contribution!
Did you try a non-alcoholic version? How did it turn out and what did you use?
@@steveng6704 I made it for our youth group. They didn't care for it at all! LOL With this recipe, there is a very high risk of not mixing the eggs in properly and what you end up with is something that looks a lot like egg-drop soup, but not nearly as tasty.
Years ago, while working on a research paper in college, I was reading about a gathering in the Colonial New England and it mentioned having mugs of ale by the fireplace and pouring frothed eggs in there. I think this finally answers the questions in my mind as to what exactly they were drinking. Thanks!
Eggs were also used to make stale beer palatable. I remember seeing a video on that subject, either by the same person that made this video or the guy that likes to try ancient Roman recipes.
Ancient roman recipes? Sounds interesting whats that channel?
This seems almost like eggnog except using ale instead of milk.

Townsends is my favourite american history channel
Jon, this drink is still very popular in the UK. Especially at Christmas. It's called Egg Flip. In addition to drinking it neat (and always cold) it is used to make another drink called Snowball. That drink, popular with old ladies at Christmas, is Half Egg Flip topped up with Lemonade. (c) Oakden: These Victorian Egg Flip recipes (from 1862 and 1863) stem from an even earlier drink. The term ‘Flip’, first used in 1695, describes a mixture of beer, rum, and sugar, heated with a red-hot iron (like an iron poker) heated in the fire. Egg Flip, unlike Eggnog, is drunk warm and uses both ale and rum - traditionally the finished drink is poured continuously between large jugs to make it frothy before pouring into glasses - like a traditional Butterbeer.
Townsends is no doubt one of the most wholesome channels I've ever come across on youtube. It's like magic, everytime I come here and watch the video, somehow I always feel very good afterwards 😮
Thank you Jon and crew for everything you've done on this channel.

I just made this drink and came straight back here to say that this really does tastes great. Its tastes like a liquid spiced rum cake!
Did you use a specific ale?
This reminds me of a tudor style "buttered beer", made essentially the same with the omission of rum and the addition of a good ounce or two of butter. Bring ale up to almost a boil but not so much that it froths excessively, melt in your butter, sugar, nutmeg and eggs while stirring vigorously, serve thus or with a little cream for richness. Incredibly rich, indulgent and most of all, warming. a single sip seems to fill the body with heat even while in the snow, and the perfect beverage for gathering around a hearth with friends on a cold night. Also, Ive got to forge a few toddy rods now.
if we think about how beer was liquid bread, adding butter, eggs, sugar and nutmeg makes it a liquid cake?
Sooo, this is what they were really drinking in Hogsmeade ...sounds much better.

Ingredients
1 pound butter, softened
1 pound powdered sugar
1 pound brown sugar
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
In a mixer with a paddle or by hand, blend the butter until creamy.
Add the sugars and the spices, and mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
To make Hot Buttered Rum
Place two tablespoons of the batter in a mug.
Add a jigger (or more) of rum.
Add 8 ounces of boiling water.
For a creamier hot buttered rum, add a little half and half or egg nog, top with whip cream
Enjoy!

When I'm sick I warm up Stout or any other Dark Beer with Honey and Rum or Brandy, with some Cinnamon, Aniseed, Nutmeg and Cloves.
Then I drink it quickly and crawl back into bed and sleep it off.
I learned about that Drink as a Apprentice in the Karlsberg Brewery in Germany.
Most of the time I have to do this only once.
We just called it a "Hot Spiced Beer"
This seems be something similar and most likely will work the same way.
I love the sound of this. I will add this recipe to my natural healing recipes to use when I'm sick and need comfort.
You can change beer for wine and get a similarly awesome drink. Drank this once during college when i had a few hours to kill between 2 courses. I was dizzy going to the 2nd class, but i wasn't cold for the rest of the day (mid-winter).
@@jogoodwin7352 I'm not sure I would recommend alcohol when you're sick, as it is dehydrating and can interfere with your circulation (alcohol depresses your heartrate). Fluids are absolutely vital for recovering from nearly all illnesses. If you do drink alcohol, keep in mind that you need to try harder to stay hydrated. Personally, I avoid alcohol (and coffee, for the same reasons) completely when I'm sick. Of course, take that spiced ale and poach a pear in it: perfect upset-tummy friendly desert that you could even serve at a party!
@@sophiejones7727 it's not unusual that Baby Boomers were given hot toddies as children when we were sick. Burnt toast with black tea helped to stop diahrea- it worked ! The toddies helped us sleep..

Mum used to make a hot drink called an “egg flip” when I was a kid (1960’s). I must ask her about this. Pretty sure there was no ale in it.

@@cgavin1 awesome.. my granny did the same - always.. and i loved it 😁
Me, too. I remember it from my grandmother and gr-grandmother. Although, I think I remember my gr-grandmother saying, "It wasn't anything special too it. All you do is just add a little brandy to the egg". I'm guessing this was the way it was done when she was born in the late Victorian era. My gr-grandmother may have mentioned the part about the brandy b/c her husband was from France (ergo, the reference to an alcohol inclusion).
@@rachelcoleman4693 in continental europe they make a type of eggnog from eggs, brandy and sugar. it is call eiercognac in german, and commonly translated as egg flip in english. there are so many kinds of 'eggnogg' across europe and america, its hard to know exactly which is which.
Thank you for this episode! My brothers and I were intrigued enough to try this recipe on New Year's Eve. We used a stout as the base (not an ale) and a clear, unspiced rum. The end result was a drink that seemed thin but was surprisingly creamy on the tongue, reminiscent of Bailey's but stronger. We loved it and this is a great dairy-free alternative to Bailey's for the lactose intolerant!

I made it and its very good almost like eggnog but not so creamy
I love it when Jon whips up the food and drink items from this time period. I've read through the Alan Lewrie naval adventures written by Dewey Lambdin (written about the late 1700's into the mid-1800's period), as well as the Richard Bolitho novels written by Douglas Reeman (for roughly the same time period). Many of the food items here, such as Flip, are featured in the novels, and Jon gives them a living embodiment of what the characters drank and ate. It gives another glimpse as to how those characters could have lived. Happy New Year!
I love this title bc it’s a drink that is hot and it’s also like “this obscure and forgotten about beverage is the Hot New Thing”
The art of multiple aerating pours seems to have been lost
Indeed, the only time I see it now is when I watch my friend making chai.
@@dgas5904 I think you're right, my friend is from India.
speaking of aeration , I use to love eggnog as a kid but as an adult not so much until (this year) I learned about putting it in a cocktail shaker with ice and your rum and giving it a healthy shake. The aeration makes it so much more drinkable and nice.
Saw this in action on vacation in Mexico in the making of AMAZING hot chocolate.
Except for those of us who make our own mead.

I don't know how Jon finds the time and energy to run a business, to undertake all of these projects (such as building a log cabin), and to produce cooking videos, and to edit and post them. And he does this year after year. I regard him with awe.
With help - that's how.
It's called a team
lol he doesn't edit the videos and most of the work building the cabin was other people. He has dozens of people working for him who are all apparently happy to do weird re-enactment projects when he summons them. the videos are basically his marketing function AND he sells premium access to videos.
@@ssl3546 -- Does the owner of a local bakery produce videos and organize projects? All of the time and effort that the owner devotes to such activities are at the expense of his main business (running a bakery). Operating a bakery would be demanding enough for most mortals. Even if he delegates much of the work (of producing videos) to others, he must still recruit people, manage them, pay them, etc. He's running two separate businesses.
My old German Grandma used to heat a fork, (dedicated for the purpose, mind you), in the stove flame to sink in her beers.
The rod for heating liquid is historically called a loggerhead.

It's not the brandy, it's the tempering. You temper your eggs by adding hot stuff to them. If you just dump your egg mixture into hot stuff, yes, they'd curdle. Kinda weird, no?
