4 cups milk
1 recipe - 5 whole cloves
2 1/2 teaspoon (divided) vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 recipe - 12 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 1/2 cups light rum
4 cups light cream
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your eggnog will taste. This is especially important for the milk, cream, and eggs.
Chill your ingredients before using. This will help the eggnog to thicken up and become creamy.
Use a high-quality vanilla extract. This will give your eggnog a rich, flavorful taste.
Don't overbeat the eggnog. Overbeating will make the eggnog thin and watery.
Serve the eggnog immediately or chill it for later. Eggnog can be served immediately after it is made, or it can be chilled for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious eggnog that your family and friends will love. Whether you serve it warm or cold, topped with whipped cream or grated nutmeg, eggnog is a surefire hit for any holiday gathering.
