Homemade Eggnog

Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk I used whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • nutmeg
  • Fireball Whiskey or your favorite whiskey

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl beat milk, sugar and eggs together,
  • place mixture in medium saucepan and heat on medium,
  • stirring until it simmers (tiny bubbles around the edges)
  • Remove from heat and place saucepan over an ice water bath to cool the eggnog, or allow it to come to room temperature, then place in refrigerator until it's chilled.
  • Pour eggnog into 2 glasses,
  • add a shot or two of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky.
  • Top with nutmeg.

Notes

If you prefer thin eggnog and don't want it thick and custard-like, don't cook it.
Just beat the milk, sugar, and egg and pour it into the glasses, add the fireball (or brandy or rum) and top with nutmeg.
