Steps:
- Beat the egg yolks well until they turn light in color, adding 1/2 cup of the sugar as you beat. Add the milk, cream, and liquor. Then beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until they peak. Fold the whites into the mixture. Grate the fresh nutmeg over the drink.
AMAZINGLY GOOD EGGNOG
It's taken me several years to perfect this homemade eggnog recipe. Now everyone asks, 'When are you making the eggnog?!' This uses cooked eggs for safety, and you can use more or less rum to taste. It's a bit of work to make, but well worth it. You'll never buy store-bought eggnog again! Enjoy!

- Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream. Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Add a splash of rum or brandy for a boozy twist.
- Garnish with grated nutmeg, cinnamon, or chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
- Make ahead of time: You can make eggnog up to 3 days in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
