Ingredients
Eggnog:
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 large egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
For Serving & Garnish:
- Whipped Cream
- cinnamon stick
- star anise
- Alcohol
Instructions
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites in a small bowl.*
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla, bringing to a simmer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk for 2-3 minutes or until they pale in color.
- Begin by adding a very small amount of the heated milk mixture to the eggs (tempering), whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Do not add the hot milk too quickly or it will cook the eggs. Continue until it is all incorporated. **
- Return to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until slightly thick and mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil the eggnog.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the heavy cream.
- Chill the eggnog before serving.
- To serve, top with the whipped cream, ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick or star anise, if desired. If you'd like to add alcohol, stir in 1 jigger or ounce per cup, stir well. ***
