Notes

Insider advice

Temper the eggs by gradually adding a small amount of warm milk to the yolks. This will prevent the eggs from curdling.

You can personalize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of sugar.

Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon to elevate the aesthetic experience.

Can I make this eggnog ahead of time?

Yes, you can make this classic eggnog up to 4 days in advance. Allowing it to chill in the refrigerator in an airtight container enhances the flavor. Although, I recommend consuming within 1-2 days of preparation for the best flavor and texture.

Ways to customize

An easy way to enhance the flavor profile is by using spiced vanilla extract. The warm notes of the vanilla and subtle spices can elevate the taste.

Add a touch of maple by blending 1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to your homemade eggnog.

If you're someone who likes chai, you can give your homemade eggnog recipe a pinch of ground cinnamon, a dash of cardamom, and a hint of ginger.
