HOMEMADE EGGNOG RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat 3 cups (720 ml) of milk in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it is steaming, 5-6 minutes (do not allow it to come to a boil.)
• While the milk is warming, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until pale yellow in color, 1-2 minutes.
• Once the milk has begun to steam, slowly pour half into the egg mixture while continuously whisking so the eggs don't scramble. Once combined, slowly pour the egg and milk mixture back into the saucepan. 4. Keep warm over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Place a medium bowl in the ice bath and set a fine-mesh sieve on top. Pour the egg mixture through the sieve to remove any unwanted egg bits.
• Remove the sieve and add the remaining cup of milk and heavy cream, and stir to combine. Let cool for 20 minutes, stirring every 5. Add the rum, if desired, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The eggnog will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Serve with freshly grated nutmeg on top.
• Enjoy!

HOMEMADE CANDY CANE AND BROWN SUGAR EGGNOG RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the yolks and brown sugar. Whisk well for 5-6 minutes until the mixture has increased in volume and thickened, and a figure "8" can be drawn when lifting up your whisk.
• In a saucepot, add the milk and vanilla then bring up to a barely a simmer. Then, start to slowly add the warmed milk to the yolk and sugar bowl, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling. Continue to temper the mixture until the warm milk and egg mixture has combined, then return everything back to the pot. Then add the nutmeg.
• Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (making sure that no bits begin to stick or scramble to the bottom). Continue to cook slowly and gently until the mixture slightly thickens and coats the back of your spoon. Strain into a bowl (to capture any bits that may have scrambled in the process) then stir in ¼ cup of the ground candy cane. Transfer to a resealable plastic container, then place in the fridge to chill completely.
• When ready to serve, wet a paper towel then swipe the rims of each glass. Dip the glass into some more of the candy cane powder to create a festive rim. Fill each glass with some eggnog, then top with fresh whipped cream and some extra grated nutmeg.
