Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh milk, cream, and eggs will give your eggnog the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients for the best quality.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before you start making the eggnog will help it to thicken up and become creamy.
  • Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you to get a smooth and creamy eggnog. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a hand mixer, but it will take a little longer.
  • Strain the eggnog: Straining the eggnog will remove any lumps or bits of egg white. This will give you a smooth and creamy eggnog.
  • Chill the eggnog before serving: Chilling the eggnog before serving will help it to thicken up and become even more creamy.
