Eggnog is one of those drinks, you either love it, or you hate it.
For me, a Classic Eggnog is something that I will have about once a year, and that’s about enough for me. Tastes great, but I’m not one who can drink them repeatedly.

- In a separate saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once the milk and cream mixture is hot but not boiling, remove from heat.
- Slowly pour the hot milk and cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks and sugar, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
- Add the vanilla extract and ground nutmeg to the mixture, and whisk until well combined.
- Let the eggnog cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
- Before serving, whisk the chilled eggnog to froth it up and garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon sticks if desired.
