Caramel Eggnog
"I found this while perusing "The Modern Family Cook Book" published in 1945. I just love old cookbooks. I haven't made this yet but wanted to add it before I lost it. I'll try it over the holidays. (You can buy pastuerized raw eggs these days. They're a little more expensive but it saves worry over bacteria)"
