Notes
- Alcohol is optional in this recipe. For a non-alcoholic version of homemade eggnog, simply leave it out. You or your party guests can easily add a shot of alcohol to their own servings.
- Add a garnish. A sprinkle of ground nutmeg or cinnamon and a swirl of fresh whipped cream is the perfect topping for this festive drink.
- Instead of using a slow cooker, this recipe can be made on the stovetop. Be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot, and cook on the lowest heat.
- To Store: Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
