Ingredients

Scale

2 cups of whole organic milk
4 egg yolks from organic eggs
2 Tbsp honey
sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

First, add the yolks of the egg and the honey to a blender. Blend until the mixture is creamy and light.
Combine the milk and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
Then, add a tablespoon of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture, and stir. Continue adding the hot milk to the egg mixture a Tablespoon at a time while stirring.
Once a majority of the hot milk has been added to the egg mixture, pour it back into the saucepan.
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove the saucepan from the stove and stir in the vanilla.
Pour half of the mixture (¼ cup at a time) through a strainer and into a container with an airtight lid. (I use my blender jar). Chill in the refrigerator.
Finally, once it’s chilled you can serve it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, and a swirl of Homemade Whipped Cream if you’re feeling fancy.

Notes

This eggnog recipe doesn’t use the egg whites, so add those to a batch of the Best Scrambled Eggs Recipe for breakfast!
Homemade egg nog thickens as it cools, so don’t worry if it seems thin when it’s just finished.
Store homemade egg nog in the fridge for up to one week.
Scale the eggnog recipe up or down: Make a double batch for a holiday party. Or if you’re the only eggnog fan in the family, cut the recipe in half and make just one single cup (instead of letting the rest of a carton spoil in the fridge).
Don’t drink a lot of eggnog at once? Make 2 cups of homemade eggnog. Use half in this Cranberry Orange Scone Recipe (use eggnog in place of the cream) and enjoy them fresh out of the oven with the other half!
Eggnog is a nonalcoholic beverage, but if you want, you can add 1-2 ounces of whiskey, rum, or brandy to the chilled eggnog.
