Easy Homemade Eggnog Recipe – Make the Best Eggnog with Spiced
If there’s one thing that gets me in the Christmas spirit it’s this eggnog recipe! This sweet drink is made with whole milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and spiced rum – a combination that my family absolutely adores. In fact, I think the only festive drink I make that beats this one in terms of how much people love it is coquito!
You have probably seen overly complicated eggnog recipes that make it seem so much easier to just buy pre-made nog. But let me tell you, the way my family makes homemade eggnog will change your mind. It only takes 20 minutes to make – with a few hours of chill time. The end result is so much better than store-bought!
