Imagine drinking eggnog on spring break or poolside during the summer\u2026 it just doesn\u2019t work, does it? We\u2019re getting towards the end of prime eggnog drinking season and if you don\u2019t make a batch soon you\u2019re going to have to wait until next December rolls around to have some. Now is the time to whip up a batch, and it\u2019s easier than you might think. The little effort it does require is worth it; homemade eggnog has a pure, custard-like flavor and is less sugary and less full of questionable ingredients than most of the eggnog sold in stores. We\u2019d actually forgotten how good homemade eggnog could be until one of our readers, Anna Salveson, reminded us. This recipe is inspired by the eggnog recipe she sent in and hers is included below, too. According to Anna she\u2019s been continually making batches of eggnog all month to keep her family satisfied, which we think qualifies her as an eggnog expert.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-9855\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Eggnog Ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/ingredients-15.jpg\" alt=\"ingredients 15 Primal Eggnog\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 beaten egg yolks<\/li>\n<li>3 cups coconut milk, almond milk, or whole cream<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon maple syrup or sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>ground nutmeg and cinnamon to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mix egg yolks, 2 cups of coconut\/almond milk or cream, and sugar. Stir gently but constantly over medium-low heat until the mixture thickens enough to cling to and coat the back of a spoon, about five to ten minutes. Be patient with this process \u2013 if you turn the heat up too high or don\u2019t stir, the egg yolks might turn into scramble eggs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Eggnog Recipe\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/chill_eggnog.jpg\" alt=\"chill eggnog Primal Eggnog\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Remove from heat and set the pot in a larger bowl filled with ice water (careful, so no water overflows into the eggnog!) and stir for 2-3 minutes then add the last cup of milk\/cream and the vanilla.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Primal Eggnog \" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/adding_egg_to_milk.jpg\" alt=\"adding egg to milk Primal Eggnog\" width=\"480\" height=\"352\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you want to add any additional holiday spirit (a few tablespoons of rum, bourbon or whiskey) to the eggnog, now is your chance. Let the mixture cool down to room temperature then chill for a while longer in the fridge. The longer you let the eggnog chill, the thicker and more custard-like it will become. Before serving, generously dust with cinnamon and nutmeg. If you can, buy whole nutmeg and grate it yourself (a microplane zester works great for this).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Nutmeg\" src=\"http:\/\/i247.photobucket.com\/albums\/gg158\/MDA2008\/MDA2009\/nutmeg.jpg\" alt=\"nutmeg Primal Eggnog\" width=\"480\" height=\"354\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Makes 4-6 servings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For a quick eggnog fix, you can try Anna\u2019s recipe for one serving<\/strong>: In a blender, mix 1-2 raw egg yolks, 6 ounces coconut milk (or almond milk), 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup and 1\/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend for 30 seconds and serve dusted with nutmeg.<\/p>\n<p>Happy holidays, everyone.
