Holiday without Eggnog? NEVER!!!!

Want the warm creaminess of eggnog but don't want to ingest the the chemical laden commercial preparation?  This raw eggless nog is awesome - sweet, warm spices, creamy, and delicious!  The addition of the Thai Coconut give great flavor and a little body to the beverage.  Serve it slightly warmed, with your morning cereal, or use it as a milk base in a your Hot - or warm - Cacao!

**Extra note - after straining the nog keep the delicious spiced nut pulp to use in holiday raw cookies and cakes!
