Easy Holiday Recipes for Eggnog

Eggnog is a favorite around our house. I have had this Eggnog recipe for years, and with this recipe, which is the easiest I have found, you can make enough for a party.

You can even freeze some egg nog in a bundt pan and use it to chill the eggnog and the eggnog won't get diluted as it melts.

Easy Holiday Eggnog (My Favorite Recipe)

6 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups of milk

Dash of powdered nutmeg

Blender method: Blend eggs, sugar, salt with 1 cup milk until light and smooth.
Add mixture to rest of milk and stir.

If you don't have a blender you can mix by hand or with a egg beater or mixer. I pour it all into a container and just shake it.

Tip: Can be made into eggnog ice cubes too if desired or a ring mold.

Food for Thought
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be content it gre in yours.
