   Ok, I am honest ... also had some "Jagatee" already today.

   And yes, this is my favorite mug 🙂

     @keadamander Never heard of it before!

     Here in the US, people would drink Eggnog around Christmas:

     @keadamander Oh, wow... it's more popular than I initially thought:

     "Consumption in the United States in 2019 was 53.5 million bottles purchased and Americans spent $185 million on eggnog. The consumption of egg nog was down 42 percent since 1969."

     And these figures don't include the home-made eggnog:

     @keadamander Oh, I never made eggnog in my life. It tastes very much like the Italian egg liquor called VOV:

     My Punsch (punch) recipe :

     Quantities may vary according to taste

     - caramelize a lot of sugar
     - add orange juice 1.5l
     - add cinnamon sticks
     - add some clove spice
     - add some pimento (allspice)
     - brew 4 bags black tea
     - add a bottle red wine (recommend heavy spanish Rioja)

     - let everything brew for at least half an hour

     - Serve : Fill mug, add a heavy shot of rum (recommend jamaican one)
