Makes 4 large servings or 6 medium
Ingredients:
2 cups (480ml) Milk
1 cup (240ml) Heavy cream
6 Egg yolks
1/2 cup (100g) Sugar
Pinch Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) Cognac/Whisky/bourbon/rum (optional)
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Cloves

Directions:
1. In a large bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar until light, thick and fluffy. Set aside.
2. In a saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, salt, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer.
3. Temper the eggs by slowly adding the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly while pouring the hot milk mixture.
4. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, and coats the back of the spoon or until it reaches about 160F (70C). It will thicken more as it cools.
5. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and liquor. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
6. Pour the eggnog into pitcher, bottle or other container and chill in the fridge until ready to serve (at least 2 hours).
7. When ready to serve, pour into a glass with ice cubes, sprinkle some grated nutmeg and cinnamon.

Seasons greetings from Scotland ! I've never had eggnog before but made it today with your recipe and it's incredible. I used spiced rum. It's like a Christmas custard. Thank you ❤️

My mom said it’s usually more challenging to make but think it’s cause people are given the correct instructions to follow. Seems pretty simple simple here to me😀

Just made this for hubs. I am NOT an eggnog fan. Well, I wasn’t. I guess that I am now! We had it hot, and it was awesome. I didn’t have ground cloves, but did have whole one. Tossed in a bunch. Added extra Jack Daniels. Yep. It is good people, saving this recipe.

Just made this morning and can hardly wait for it to be cold. Well, to be honest, I already had a glass lukewarm. Fantastic! Creamy, smooth, lightly spiced perfection. Yummy! #eggnog

I just love eggnog. And was watching it with my adult students of English in class. They really liked it

[bbloomfield]

Fresh grated nutmeg in the nog as well as for a garnish is an absolute game changer. Compared to bought spice shaker stuff, it's like a completely different ingredient.

I've made my first eggnog today using this video! Planned to do it last year, but unfortunately an unforeseen event changed my Christmas plans altogether. I'm really enjoying it! It's rather thick, drinks like a milkshake. I might try adding more milk next time but only for experimental purposes as I actually like how it drinks like a milkshake. Still, it's in my nature to experiment, and I've got a couple more days until I have guests over that I want to serve the perfect drink. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas!

I always blended eggs, added milk, touch of cinnamon, touch of nut meg, a splash of pure vanilla extract and granulated raw sugar. No heating at all. Been making it that way every year since the 70s.

I will be making this, and not just for holidays. It looks so good, thick and creamy just the way I like my egg nog and the best part is knowing exactly what is in it.
Not a bunch of inflammatory oils, fillers, thickeners etc.. like the egg nog you buy in the markets.
This is a beautifully done video. 👌🏼🙂
