Keeping the eggnog cool is always good so don't put it by the fire.
Don't over mix or stir the eggnog in the serving bowl. Gently fold it together if it needs it after an hour or so.
A small spice grater and whole nutmeg by the bowl makes it real nice!
NOTE: This popcorn cake is great for any holiday! Many colors and types of season candies are available (candy corn etc.) You may wish to use coconut, raisins, or granola in place of or in addition to the nuts.
The Orange may be decorated as you desire with the cloves, to make an interesting thing that bobs in the pot while seasoning the beverage. Be creative!
Presented in tandem, this combination adds festive color to a Christmas buffet. The mint slab by itself is great for a St. Patrick's Day celebration, while the crab slab is just right for Valentines's Day.
