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!

CLASSIC EGGNOG
Once you taste homemade eggnog, you'll never go back to the stuff in the carton. This is our go-to version for the holiday season. It's festive and decadent, laced with nutmeg and vanilla. We lightened it up by folding in whipped cream and made the booze optional so that it's good for young and old alike.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, egg yolk and sugar in a bowl until combined. Heat the milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming; do not boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a thermometer registers 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes. (Do not boil or the eggs will curdle.)
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and stir in the vanilla and nutmeg. Let cool at room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
- Whisk the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Slowly whisk the whipped cream into the chilled eggnog mixture, then whisk in the rum. Pour into glasses, sprinkle with nutmeg and serve with cinnamon sticks.
COOKED EGGNOG
This is a rich and creamy eggnog that is an alternative to traditional eggnog, because the eggs are cooked. When served chilled and topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon, it is a sure bet that it will be a hit at your next Christmas party.

CREAMY COOKED EGGNOG
If you worry about uncooked eggs in Egg Nog, as I do, you might like to try this recipe. I found the original recipe on the American Egg Board website and have made a few changes to suit our tastes. This is the best cooked Egg Nog I have ever tried and made this way, will be free from salmonella bacteria. This recipe can be doubled easily. Cooking time includes "chilling" time. Edited to add: Always remember to use fresh eggs. This eggnog will keep 4 days under refrigeration.

Steps:
- Use a saucepan or stock pot large enough to hold 2 quarts.
- In saucepan, beat together the eggs and sugar until smooth.
- Stir in 2 cups milk.
- Cook over medium low heat, whisking or stirring frequently because as this mixture begins to get hot it will easily scorch to the bottom of the pan if you aren't careful.
- Cook until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches 160° on a food thermometer.
- Remove from heat.
- Slowly add the 2 cups whipping cream or half& half while whisking together until smooth.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and combine until incorporated.
- At this point, you may taste test (carefully- it will still be very hot) and if it doesn't seem sweet enough for your taste, add extra sugar.
- I use a total of 3/4 cup sugar because we like it sweet.
- You may also add more nutmeg at this point if you like a strong nutmeg flavor.
- Pour into a pitcher or container.
- Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled- several hours or overnight.
- Serve garnished with your choice of toppings: whipped cream, chocolate curls, maraschino cherries, cinnamon sticks or peppermint sticks.
- Brandy, rum, whiskey or flavored liqueur's may be added before serving if desired.
- This recipe makes 6 cups Egg Nog.

BEST COOKED EGGNOG
This recipe was adapted from The Cooking Geek.com. We love eggnog so I just make this large batch. I found these spice amounts to be the closest to store bought flavor, but better. I really like vanilla, but it does not work in this. The amount of cloves is more like 1/10t, but it would not accept that entry. I use fat free milk and it even works with 7c milk & 1c cream. I use stevia substitute to lower calories and it actually did not go bad as fast last year. You must cook this "low & slow" to prevent a grainy texture. Do not add the salt before cooking, or it can curdle the milk once cooked (think cheese making). It is very thick, so omit a whole egg for thinner consistency. Also omit a whole egg if using extra large eggs. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs and yolks, then add the cream, sugar, and spices. Add the milk, whisk until thoroughly combined (immersion blender is best).

Then increase the heat to medium-low (no higher), and cook, whisking constantly, until the temperature of the mixture is 180°F, about 5-10 minutes.

COOKED EGGNOG
I got this recipe from my favorite literature teacher many, many moons ago, even before the concerns about raw egg yolks. There were so few people in the class, just enough to keep from being cancelled, that we'd usually meet at her home and drink tea and someone would bring cookies. During the holidays she made this for us. I've made eggnog from this recipe for years, especially since we shouldn't use raw eggs.

- Whisk together eggs, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add to a medium-large saucepan set over low heat, then slowly whisk in 2 cups of the milk.
- Cook egg/milk mixture for 18-22 minutes while stirring constantly, until it reaches 160°F and leaves a thin film coating the back of your spoon. This will be before it boils - we don't want boiling. While stirring focus on bringing up the mixture from the bottom of the pot to prevent the mixture along the bottom to scorch.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the eggnog mixture reaches 160°F. Immediately pour it into a large heat-resistant (not metal) bowl.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon. You can take a taste at this point to see if you'd like to add more flavorings, though be careful because it will be hot.
