SOUS VIDE CUBAN NOCHE BUENA EGGNOG

Eggnog has a varied and rich history with a lot of competing claims for its origin. Regardless of where it comes from, the rich, creamy nutmeg-spiced drink is a favorite of many and is primarily consumed in Canada and the United States during the holiday season. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on preference and how cold it is outside. This is a Cuban twist on this homey, soul-soothing holiday classic created by one of our chef contributors, Chef Carlos Villanueva.
