Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks while whisking constantly. This will temper the eggs to prevent curdling.

Step 5

Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the hot milk mixture, whisking continuously.

Step 6

Place the saucepan back on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 8

Strain the eggnog through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any cooked egg bits.

Step 9

Let the eggnog cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.

Step 10

Serve cold, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or nutmeg if desired. Enjoy!
