Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, egg yolk, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Heat Gently: Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and warm the mixture gently, stirring frequently, until it slightly thickens. Be careful not to let it boil as this can cause curdling.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the nutmeg and vanilla extract thoroughly to infuse the mixture with warm spices and vanilla aroma.
- Serve: Pour the creamy eggnog into serving glasses and serve either chilled by refrigerating briefly, or warm for a cozy drink. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For an extra decadent touch, top with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.
- Do not boil the mixture to avoid curdling the egg yolk.
- Use whole milk for the creamiest texture, or substitute with a non-dairy milk if preferred.
- This recipe serves 2 and can be doubled for larger gatherings.
