The history of eggnog dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was known as "posset." Posset was a hot drink made with milk, eggs, and spices. Over time, posset evolved into eggnog, which is now a popular drink around the world. Eggnog is typically made with milk, cream, eggs, sugar, and spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. It can also be made with alcohol, such as rum, brandy, or whiskey.
