Welcome to this weeks video: https://youtu.be/5sV4MZ2n_nw

Happy Holidays friends!

With Santa Clause arriving in less than two weeks I thought it would be a great idea to do something festive this week!
I dunno about you guys, but for me rum and eggnog and coffee and baileys is something I have always enjoyed in the past! 

If you're lactose intolerant or vegan that makes consuming both eggnog and baileys a challenge as the store bought versions are packed full of dairy and the non dairy versions aren't very good in my opinion lol. 

With that I was forced to try and find a recipe for some non dairy alternatives and boy did I ever!

Wishing you and your loved ones a holly jolly Christmas! Happy sippin ;)



VEGAN EGGNOG:

Ingredients 

- 2 cups of homemade or store bought almond milk. (I personally used homemade almond milk. Why? Cause it always tastes better!)

- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk

- 1/3 cup raw cashews soaked overnight 

- 4 pitted dates

- 1 tsp vanilla extract 

- 1 tsp nutmeg 

- pinch ground cinnamon 

- pinch ground cloves

- pinch sea salt 


Method:

1. Drain and rinse your soaked cashews

2. Place all your ingredients in the vitamix and blend on high until the cashews are fully blended. 

3. Pour into a glass, add 1-2 ounces of preferred rum.
Garnish wish cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.

* This eggnog recipe reminds me of the rich and creamy eggnog i guzzled from the carton growing up. Its great over ice, in coffee, and i've actually been putting a nice sized splash in my matcha latte's every morning!
If it's too rich and creamy for you you could always add more almond milk.



Vegan Baileys:

Ingredients

- 2 cans full fat coconut milk

- 1/2 cup of raw cane sugar ( Do not use maple syrup)

- 3/4 cup espresso or coffee depending on how strong you like it.

(I went with decaf coffee as I'm currently on a no caffeinated coffee kick)

- 1 cup of Jameson's Irish Whiskey 

- Pinch of sea salt


Method:

1. Add both cans of coconut milk to a medium size pot over high heat. Whisk in the sugar. 

2. Bring to a low boil, turn down heat to about a medium and cook at a low boil for 8-10 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly. 
Stir frequently!!

3. Remove from heat. Stir in coffee, pinch of sea salt and Jameson's whiskey.

* As per regular Baileys, this is delicious served over ice or in a cup of coffee! Enjoy!
