I know people are firmly in one camp or another. You either love it or hate it, right? I absolutely adore eggnog! I can’t help but think of Clark Griswold when making this. I think I need to find some moose cups – ha! Now I know you can practically buy any and all kinds of this at the store, but nothing beats homemade and you don’t have to wait for it to be “in season” to drink it. So if you are looking for a special (non-alcoholic) drink to make this holiday season, then you need to make my Homemade Eggnog recipe!\nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\nWhat does it mean to “temper” eggs?\nThe main tip for this recipe to be successful is to properly temper the eggs so you don’t end up with scrambled eggs. Adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture at a time into the egg yolks and whisking quickly will prevent curdling of the eggs. No one wants curdled eggs in their drink, right?\nIs eggnog safe to drink?\nYes! It is perfectly safe to drink if you follow the directions and use a food thermometer. This is why the drink is heated to 160F degrees to ensure that any possible bacteria is killed off by the heat. If you have any concerns, try using pasteurized eggs. Also, it is important to keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.\nWhat is eggnog called in the UK?\nPosset. Believe it or not, even though we think of eggnog as an American drink, it actually was inspired by the English drink, posset. Posset is basically considered a “milk punch” or “egg milk punch” mixed with spices and alcohol. However, you’ll find that these days many Britons will now refer to it as eggnog.\nWhat alcohol is in eggnog?\nRum is the traditional alcohol added to eggnog. Make this recipe a spiked eggnog by whisking in ½ cup of dark rum, brandy or bourbon to the cooled eggnog. Note that bourbon will be the strongest so maybe start with less than ½ cup and add more to taste.\nHow do I store eggnog?\nEggnog can be stored in the refrigerator either in a pitcher covered in plastic wrap or a mason jar for up to 3-4 days. With alcohol, the eggnog can be stored for up to 1 week. Eggnog is not recommended to be frozen.\nINGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)\negg yolks\ngranulated sugar\nwhole milk\nheavy cream\nground nutmeg\nground cinnamon\ncinnamon stick\nvanilla extract\nextra ground cinnamon and nutmeg for garnish, optional\nHOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE EGGNOG:\nSeparate egg yolks and place them in a medium sized bowl.

Continue this process until about half of the milk mixture has been incorporated with the yolks.\nTransfer the tempered egg mixture back to the pot and continue to cook on medium heat until the mixture reaches 160F degrees. Remove from the heat.\nStir in the vanilla extract and remove the cinnamon stick. Allow the mixture to cool for about 1 hour and then refrigerate in a large mason jar or serving pitcher until fully cool, about 1 more hour. You can also refrigerate overnight.\nServe in small glasses or mugs with a dusting of cinnamon, nutmeg or both and enjoy!\nWANT MORE DELICIOUS RECIPES?

I know people are firmly in one camp or another. You either love it or hate it, right? I absolutely adore eggnog! I can’t help but think of Clark Griswold when making this. I think I need to find some moose cups – ha! Now I know you can practically buy any and all kinds of this at the store, but nothing beats homemade and you don’t have to wait for it to be “in season” to drink it.

Adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture at a time into the egg yolks and whisking quickly will prevent curdling of the eggs. No one wants curdled eggs in their drink, right?\n\n**Is eggnog safe to drink?**\n\nYes! It is perfectly safe to drink if you follow the directions and use a food thermometer. This is why the drink is heated to 160F degrees to ensure that any possible bacteria is killed off by the heat. If you have any concerns, try using pasteurized eggs. Also, it is important to keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator.\n\n**What is eggnog called in the UK?**\n\nPosset. Believe it or not, even though we think of eggnog as an American drink, it actually was inspired by the English drink, posset. Posset is basically considered a “milk punch” or “egg milk punch” mixed with spices and alcohol. However, you’ll find that these days many Britons will now refer to it as eggnog.\n\n**What alcohol is in eggnog?**\n\nRum is the traditional alcohol added to eggnog. Make this recipe a spiked eggnog by whisking in ½ cup of dark rum, brandy or bourbon to the cooled eggnog. Note that bourbon will be the strongest so maybe start with less than ½ cup and add more to taste.\n\n**How do I store eggnog?**\n\nEggnog can be stored in the refrigerator either in a pitcher covered in plastic wrap or a mason jar for up to 3-4 days. With alcohol, the eggnog can be stored for up to 1 week. Eggnog is not recommended to be frozen.\n\n![Pinterest image of hand putting cinnamon stick into glass of Homemade Eggnog.](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/main-image-Homemade-Eggnog-scaled.jpg)\n\n### INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)\n- egg yolks\n- granulated sugar\n- whole milk\n- heavy cream\n- ground nutmeg\n- ground cinnamon\n- cinnamon stick\n- vanilla extract\n- extra ground cinnamon and nutmeg for garnish, optional\n\n![Ingredients needed: egg yolks, granulated sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick and vanilla extract.](https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Homemade-Eggnog-0-683x1025.jpg)\n\n## HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE EGGNOG:\nSeparate egg yolks and place them in a medium sized bowl.

Readable Markdown	A classic holiday tradition, this easy Homemade Eggnog recipe is a tasty drink that you’ll enjoy sipping on at all your get togethers\! ## A CLASSIC HOLIDAY DRINK Are you an Eggnog lover? I know people are firmly in one camp or another. You either love it or hate it, right? I absolutely adore eggnog! I can’t help but think of Clark Griswold when making this. I think I need to find some moose cups – ha! Now I know you can practically buy any and all kinds of this at the store, but nothing beats homemade and you don’t have to wait for it to be “in season” to drink it. So if you are looking for a special (non-alcoholic) drink to make this holiday season, then you need to make my Homemade Eggnog recipe\! ![Two glasses of Homemade Eggnog with cinnamon sticks.](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/1st-image-Homemade-Eggnog-scaled.jpg) ## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: What does it mean to “temper” eggs? The main tip for this recipe to be successful is to properly temper the eggs so you don’t end up with scrambled eggs. Adding a small amount of the hot milk mixture at a time into the egg yolks and whisking quickly will prevent curdling of the eggs. No one wants curdled eggs in their drink, right? Is eggnog safe to drink? Yes! It is perfectly safe to drink if you follow the directions and use a food thermometer. This is why the drink is heated to 160F degrees to ensure that any possible bacteria is killed off by the heat. If you have any concerns, try using pasteurized eggs. Also, it is important to keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. What is eggnog called in the UK? Posset. Believe it or not, even though we think of eggnog as an American drink, it actually was inspired by the English drink, posset. Posset is basically considered a “milk punch” or “egg milk punch” mixed with spices and alcohol. However, you’ll find that these days many Britons will now refer to it as eggnog. What alcohol is in eggnog? Rum is the traditional alcohol added to eggnog. Make this recipe a spiked eggnog by whisking in ½ cup of dark rum, brandy or bourbon to the cooled eggnog. Note that bourbon will be the strongest so maybe start with less than ½ cup and add more to taste. How do I store eggnog? Eggnog can be stored in the refrigerator either in a pitcher covered in plastic wrap or a mason jar for up to 3-4 days. With alcohol, the eggnog can be stored for up to 1 week. Eggnog is not recommended to be frozen. ![Pinterest image of hand putting cinnamon stick into glass of Homemade Eggnog.](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/main-image-Homemade-Eggnog-scaled.jpg) ### INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST) - egg yolks - granulated sugar - whole milk - heavy cream - ground nutmeg - ground cinnamon - cinnamon stick - vanilla extract - extra ground cinnamon and nutmeg for garnish, optional ![Ingredients needed: egg yolks, granulated sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, cinnamon stick and vanilla extract.](https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Homemade-Eggnog-0-683x1025.jpg) ## HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE EGGNOG: Separate egg yolks and place them in a medium sized bowl.
