Today I teach my friend Mia how to make the most epic eggnog ever! We whip up a traditional ‘nog, but with a bit of molasses, cinnamon, allspice and cloves to give it classic gingerbread flavors.
Today I’m flipping the script and instead of teaching my friends, I’m the one being taught! My culinary producer, Olivia, is showing me how to make Baked Alaska, a sweet treat with layers of ice cream, cake and meringue that’s lit on fire!
