Do you have a good recipe for eggnog and because of scare of eating raw eggs, is it safe to drink?

I would never serve raw eggs in any dish for any reason. Although the chances are slim that eggs would be contaminated with salmonella, I still would not take the risk.

I do have a recipe that requires that the eggnog be brought to a boil, then strained and cooled.

Eggnog
2 large eggs
1 quart nonfat milk
1/4-1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon imitation rum or brandy flavoring

Beat eggs in a saucepan until blended. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat while stirring. Pour through a wire mesh strainer to remove any solids. Cool and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 8 1/2-cup servings.
