The holidays are not over yet! I've been planning on making eggnog since November, can you believe that?!
My eggnog discovery happened only a few years ago. Ever since then, I make eggnog each year.
I love eggnog. The creamy drink is amazing, but the warm spices are the cherry on top! It's perfect for winter.
In this recipe, I cook the eggs with the milk so it's safe to eat. For this, you need a candy thermometer to make sure you have the right temperature. You can top the eggnog off with whipped cream or cinnamon sticks.
Eggnog is a simple drink that's great for cold days. This recipe is rich and full of flavor, I know you'll just love it!

RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups of milk
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
STEPS:
In a large bowl beat (with a hand mixer, or just a whisk) your eggs until they are light in color. Add in your sugar and continue mixing for two more minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the milk, cloves, and cinnamon for 3 minutes until hot but not boiling. Add half of the warm milk mixture into the eggs. Whisk constantly while pouring back this egg/milk mixture into your pot with the milk.
Cook on medium-high heat until a candy thermometer reaches 160 degrees, F. Avoid curdling your eggs! Chill, for 30 minutes in your fridge and serve in cups.
Enjoy!
