Preheat oven to 325°. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat eggnog and milk until an instant-read thermometer registers 160° and mixture is very hot.

2 . Stage

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine egg yolks, salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Bring a large pot or kettle of water to a boil.

Whisking constantly, slowly pour warm eggnog mixture into egg yolk mixture. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Stir in bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
