CREAMY HOLIDAY EGGNOG (NON-ALCOHOLIC)

This eggnog is so creamy and delicious and the nutmeg gives it that bit of spice that makes this creamy holiday treat the perfect touch. I made this in my teen years a few times for Thanksgiving and Christmas and my family...

Tips:
- Choose fresh eggs. The fresher the eggs, the better the eggnog will taste. Look for eggs that are free-range and organic, if possible.
- Use whole milk or cream. Whole milk or cream will give the eggnog a richer flavor and texture. If you use skim milk, the eggnog will be thin and watery.
- Sweeten the eggnog to taste. You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup to sweeten the eggnog. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Grate the nutmeg fresh. Freshly grated nutmeg has a much more intense flavor than pre-ground nutmeg. If you don't have a nutmeg grater, you can use a microplane zester.
- Chill the eggnog before serving. Chilled eggnog is more refreshing and flavorful. You can chill the eggnog for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Garnish the eggnog with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon sticks. This will make the eggnog look and taste even more festive.
Conclusion:
Creamy eggnog is a delicious and festive holiday drink that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your eggnog thick or thin, sweet or tart, there is a recipe out there for you. So gather your ingredients and get ready to make some creamy eggnog! You won't regret it.
