Holiday Nog

Here's a recipe I came up with for a vegan holiday nog.


Holiday Nog
Yield: 4 servings

5 cups Almond or Soymilk
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/8 cup organic cane sugar
1 TB pure vanilla extract (or the seeds from 1 vanilla bean)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg, ground
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp rum extract (add this if you want more of a buttery flavor)
1/8 - 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Blend everything in blender until very smooth, except for the xanthan gum.  Then add the xanthan gum and blend briefly.  Chill in fridge overnight so flavors can disperse, then serve.  Adjust flavors to taste.
