How To Make Eggnog at Home?

Making eggnog at home is simple and rewarding. Start by whisking together 4 egg yolks and 1/3 cup sugar until creamy. In a saucepan, heat 2 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, stirring occasionally. Gradually add a ladle of the warm mixture to the yolks, tempering them, before combining everything back into the saucepan. Cook gently until thickened, then remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

For a boozy twist, add your choice of rum, bourbon, or brandy to taste before chilling the eggnog for at least an hour. Serve it cold, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the liquor and enjoy the drink as is. This homemade recipe is perfect for creating a cosy holiday atmosphere. Wishing everyone Happy National Eggnog Day 2024!
