Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine heavy whipping cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Bring to a soft simmer.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks (no whites) and sugar. They should be smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the warm milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture one large spoonful at a time, thoroughly mixing it all together before adding anymore in. Repeat until the mixtures have been fully combined.
Step 4
Transfer the eggnog back into the saucepan and bring the stovetop up to medium heat. Using a food thermometer, bring the eggnog up to 160 degrees fahrenheit to confirm that any bacteria will have died.
Step 5
Once the eggnog hits 160 degrees, remove it from heat and let cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator. Drink within 1 day.
