This homemade, non-alcoholic eggnog recipe makes a rich and creamy holiday drink for both adults and children. A creamy holiday classic! This rich beverage, laced with nutmeg and cinnamon, brings warmth to festive gatherings. Sip and savor the essence of the season.

From the recipe author: “This recipe has been served by my grandmother every Christmas that I can remember. I’m spoiled on it now and cannot tolerate commercial eggnog. Enjoy!”

Ingredients
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
2 cups of milk or cream
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons nutmeg
2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients into a 2 quart (or larger) blender pitcher. Blend until mixed thoroughly. 
  2. Serve or store in the refrigerator. Sprinkle extra nutmeg on top!

Note: We have always made as above. However, for those concerned about raw eggs, you may add a couple of extra steps:  Whisk only the eggs, sugar, and milk together in a 3- to 4-quart pan. Place pan on low heat for 45 to 60 minutes until the temperature reaches 160° F and the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 4 hours to chill, then blend with remaining ingredients.

I would suggest using organic eggs. That way you would know that the eggs were ok to eat. I eat and drink everything organic. It changed my life! There are companies that are selling their products as organic. Subscribe to organic newsletters, to find out who's lying about being organic, and who really cares about people's health.

FYI, organic eggs can also contain salmonella. Salmonella is the concern regarding raw eggs. Heat destroys salmonella. I raise my own chickens, my own eggs which are free range organic, I still use the heat method to prepare this.
