Tips

Tempering the eggs creates a silky, custard-like texture that store-bought eggnog cannot match.
Optional: Add bourbon, rum, or brandy for an alcoholic version.
You can make the best eggnog with six ingredients you already have in your fridge.
It's perfectly creamy and thick without that artificial overly sweet store-bought taste.
