Lemon Snow Eggnog

This is a recipe I garnered from a calendar the Willard Dairy gave to customers annually with home delivery.  It is my recipe of many years, tried and true.  

We lived in the wonderful community for 40 years.  I would describe it as a community where integrity had the highest value and people were concerned about each other and always ready to help in need.  I do miss the wonderful people back home.
