The recipe doesn’t say when to add the nutmeg or the cinnamon.
I’ve made this twice now and just added them at the very end.
Great egg nog!
My only adjustment was that I added an extra 1/2 cup of heavy cream.
You don’t tell us in which step the booze comes in.
Hi Kim, add the booze when you have finished mixing the eggnog, either in the bowl if everyone is going to want some, or after you put it in the glass for individual servings. Start with a touch, but then add according to your taste. Be sure to measure carefully!
What a fantastic and easy recipe for eggnog, absolutely delicious. Shared the recipe with my daughter who lives abroad and doesn’t care for eggnog, or so she thought, until she made this one today to have for New Years.
Thank you PC! So glad you shared it and your daughter also enjoyed it. Happy New Year!
Best eggnog I’ve ever had. Really fantastic – and I made it without the boost of the liquor.
Thank you Brian!
I’m with you, Brian. This is THE ONE!
