Pour over the egg mixture, stirring to mix well. Pour into mugs. Sprinkle with nutmeg and garnish with cinnamon sticks.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups milk
1 cup sugar
12 large egg yolks
1/2 cup bourbon, (optional)
1 cup chilled heavy cream
Grated nutmeg, (optional)

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, whisk milk and sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks. Whisking constantly, pour hot mixture into yolks in a slow and steady stream.
  • Return mixture to pan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until thick enough to coat back of spoon, 20 to 25 minutes; do not let simmer. Quickly strain into a bowl. Stir in bourbon, if desired, and cream. Cool completely; cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled. Garnish with nutmeg, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a double boiler to heat the milk and cream. This will prevent the mixture from scalding and help keep it smooth.
  • Temper the eggs before adding them to the milk mixture. This will help prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the eggnog before serving. This will remove any lumps or pieces of eggshell.
  • Serve the eggnog chilled or over ice. You can also garnish it with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon sticks.

Conclusion:

Eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it traditional or with a twist, there is an eggnog recipe out there for everyone. So gather your ingredients, grab a glass, and enjoy this classic holiday beverage!
