  • 3 cups of 1% milk
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp of cornstarch
  • sticks of cinnamon
  • freshly grated nutmeg – for garnish

  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and cornstarch until it turns light yellow.
  4. Temper the eggs by gradually pouring the hot milk mixture, about 1 cup at a time, into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. Pour the mixture back into the pan.
  6. Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggnog begins to thicken, about 6-7 minutes.
