Homemade Egg Nog

 

We are making Homemade Egg Nog! Once you make it homemade, you’ll never go back.

6 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
Optional: Rum or brandy

Separate egg yolks and whisk yolks with sugar
Whisk until a silky incorporated texture
Set aside.

In a pot add 2 cups milk w/ cinnamon & nutmeg
Add to medium heat and whisk until warm (careful not to burn or overheat your milk)
Temper eggs by slowly adding hot milk mixture, whisking constantly
Once fully incorporated, add back to the pot, add heavy cream and heat again.
Take off the heat and whisk in vanilla extract and fresh nutmeg. Option to add booze at this point.
Option to whisk egg whites until foamy and fold in with egg nog.
Let cool, pour into jars, and store for about 2-3 weeks!
