Mmmm, milky eggs. Where did the strange creamy concoction of eggnog originate?

Medieval British "posset" is the original inspiration behind eggnog, according to culinary historians. The milky ale-ish drink was then transformed by monks who combined the hot mixture with figs and eggs. American colonies adopted eggnog in the 1700s, spiking it with rum, evolving it into the sweet and spicy holiday drink we know today.
