Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until creamy and smooth.

  2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Heat the mixture over low heat until it is just about to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

  3. Slowly pour half of the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

  4. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly, enough to coat the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.

  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  6. Let the eggnog cool to room temperature before stirring in the spiced rum. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and enjoy the creamy goodness as is.

  7. Chill the eggnog in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld together.
