How to cook deliciously - Homemade Eggnog

1. Stage

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and slowly bring to a low boil.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until yolks are pale in color. Working in batches, slowly add hot milk mixture to egg yolks to temper eggs and whisk until combined.

3. Stage

Return mixture to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon but does not boil. (If you're using a candy or instant-read thermometer, mixture should register 160º.)

4. Stage

Remove from heat and stir in cream and bourbon (if using). Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 4 days in an airtight container.

5. Stage

When ready to serve, divide eggnog among mugs. Top with whipped cream and cinnamon.
