    Homemade Non-Alcoholic Eggnog

    It's a holiday season classic.  Eggnog is a rich a decadent drink that is often served at festive get-togethers.

    If you love the rich, creamy taste of classic eggnog, but don’t like the idea of using raw eggs, this recipe is for you. For an adults-only version, add some rum, bourbon, or cognac to taste.

    Delicious Egg Nog Recipe

    If you love egg nog, you'll adore this recipe. Skip the store-bought egg nog carton and make your own. Not only is it a richer alternative, but the freshness you get from a homemade recipe is top notch.

    Serve this eggnog recipe alongside some of your favorite cookie recipes. We like to serve it with our Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies, Snickerdoodles, and even tasty No Bake Chocolate Drop Cookies.

    This eggnog recipe is so easy to make that it is the perfect drink to serve when you have a holiday party. Whip up a big batch and serve it up all around. This drink is great for kids and adults alike.

    When you're preparing it, you'll need a [easyazon_link identifier="B0011YVZMQ" locale="US" tag="allshecooksblog-20"]candy thermometer[/easyazon_link] to make sure that the eggnog mixture is heated to the correct temperature.

    If you'd like to make a grown-up version, feel free to add a splash of alcohol to the drink.

    Egg nog is served cold and is steeped in tradition. Add a dash of [easyazon_link identifier="B0010BZZ08" locale="US" tag="allshecooksblog-20"]cinnamon[/easyazon_link]and it'll not only be a flavorful drink, but it'll be a perfect pairing with holiday cookies and treats.

    If you want to get all fancy, it's fun to tie some decorative ribbon around [easyazon_link identifier="B005XF1BBY" locale="US" tag="allshecooksblog-20"]eggnog mugs[/easyazon_link].

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 12 eggs
    • 1 ¼ c sugar
    • 4 c whole milk
    • 2 t vanilla extract
    • 1 t ground nutmeg
    • 2 c evaporated milk
    • 2 c half and half
