• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Allspice
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Bourbon or rum
• 0 as desired Optional: Whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3

Once the cider mixture is warm, slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the warm liquid into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 4

Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine.

Step 5

Continue to cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and allspice. If adding bourbon or rum, mix it in at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the hot apple eggnog into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy cup of Hot Apple Eggnog!
