Homemade Eggnog
Directions
- 1Separate six egg yolks from their whites and put the yolks in a bowl. Reserve the egg whites for another use.
- 2Add three quarters of a cup of granulated sugar to the egg yolks.
- 3Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale.
- 4In a saucepan, combine two cups of whole milk, one cup of heavy cream, one teaspoon of vanilla, half a teaspoon of nutmeg and a pinch of cinnamon.
- 5Bring the milk mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat.
- 6Temper the eggs by slowly adding a portion of the hot liquid to the egg mixture while whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- 7Add the tempered egg mixture to the saucepan with the remaining hot milk mixture and stir to combine. If there are curdles, pass the mixture through a strainer.
- 8Add alcohol at this point, if desired.
- 9Pour the eggnog into a pitcher and let it cool before serving.
