Ingredients
  

  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 2 Cups Milk
  • ½ Cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 Cup Whipping cream
  • 2 Cinnamon sticks
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until smooth and thick.
  • In a saucepan, combine milk, whipping cream, cinnamon sticks, and salt. Heat over medium-high until just before boiling, then remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
  • Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium heat until it reaches 160°F. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  • Strain the eggnog into a bottle and refrigerate until chilled.

Notes

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs, high-quality milk, and cream make a big difference in flavor and texture.
Temper the Eggs Carefully: Gradually add the hot milk to the egg yolks while whisking to prevent curdling.
Chill Thoroughly: Allow the eggnog to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few hours to let the flavors meld and thicken.
