MOM'S BEST SPICED EGGNOG

Mom's Best Spiced Eggnog image

This eggnog recipe was the traditional holiday drink while growing up and now it's the traditional drink in my home. I've tried several nog recipes, but to this day this one is still my favorite. Optional: add brandy or liqueur of choice when serving.
