Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
• 3 large egg yolks
• ½ cup maple syrup or organic cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch of cloves (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt

How to Make Classic Non-Alcoholic Eggnog

1. Warm the milk & cream
   In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the milk and cream until steaming—do not boil.
2. Whisk the eggs
   In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sweetener until pale and smooth.
3. Temper gently
   Slowly whisk a small amount of the warm milk into the eggs to prevent curdling.
4. Thicken the eggnog
   Pour everything back into the saucepan. Stir continuously on low heat until slightly thickened and velvety.
5. Add the magic
   Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and sea salt.
6. Chill or serve warm
   Chill for at least 1 hour for classic eggnog—or enjoy warm for extra coziness.
