For best flavor, make the night before and let the eggnog set overnight to let it cool down and thicken.
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 12 large egg yolks
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 pint whipping cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Combine milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring every so often, until spices become one with the milk, 3 to 5 minutes. Be sure to stir from the bottom of the pot so the milk doesn't burn.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cane sugar together in a large mixing bowl until pale yellow, thick, and smooth.
Step 3
Remove milk mixture from the stove. Pour some of the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking quickly to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue, pouring a little bit at a time and whisking, until all has been added.
Step 4
Pour the mixture back into the pot and place over medium heat. Stir constantly with a spatula until eggnog thickens and becomes light beige in color, about 5 minutes; it should leave a slight film on the spatula. Remove from the heat.
Step 5
Pour whipping cream and nutmeg into a pitcher. Pour eggnog mixture into the whipping cream and mix with the spatula to combine. Place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight for best enjoyment. Stir before serving.
Cook’s Note:
Combine 1/2 eggnog and 1/2 alcohol if desired. Preferred types are brandy, spiced rum, and bourbon.
