The BEST Homemade Egg Nog recipe! Thick and creamy with the perfect mild flavor and hint of nutmeg. You'll never buy store-bought eggnog again!

Homemade Eggnog

sugar

heavy whipping cream

milk

nutmeg

salt

vanilla extract

cinnamon (, for topping)

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl until light and creamy.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the cream, milk, nutmeg and salt. Stir often until mixture reaches a bare simmer.&nbsp;

Add a big spoonful of the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking vigorously. Repeat, adding a big spoonful at a time, to temper the eggs.&nbsp;

Once most of the hot milk has been added to the eggs, pour the mixture back into the saucepan on the stove.&nbsp;

Whisk constantly for just a few minutes, until the mixture is just slightly thickened (or until it reaches about 160 degrees F on a thermometer). It will thicken more as it cools.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.

Pour the eggnog into a pitcher or other container and cover with plastic wrap.&nbsp;

Refrigerate until chilled. It will thicken as it cools. If you want a thinner, completely smooth consistency, you can add the entire mixture to a blender with 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk and blend until smooth.

Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and fresh whipped cream, if desired.

Store homemade eggnog in the fridge for up to one week.

​You like red wine and you like milkshakes so...

Would You Try These Red Wine Milkshakes?

Make perfectly spiced mulled wine at Christmas with our easy recipe. Use a good quality red wine like an unoaked tempranillo or try a twist with a dash of sloe gin

Classic mulled wine

cinnamon stick,

lemon

tbsp caster sugar

Put the red wine, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest and sugar in a large pan. Cook on a low heat for 10 mins.

Remove from the heat and cool, leaving to infuse for about 30 mins.

To serve, heat without boiling, stir in the sloe gin (if using, see tip below) and pour into mugs or heatproof glasses.

The Merry Mocktail

rosemary simple syrup

pomegranate juice (cranberry juice is a good sub)

club soda lime

Heat the water, sugar, rosemary, and cloves in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a low boil and let everything simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove the cloves and rogue rosemary leaves. Transfer to glass jars and store in the fridge for 2 weeks. (I often stick a sprig of rosemary in there so it keeps getting more intense.)

Pour your desired ratios of rosemary syrup, pomegranate juice, and limey bubbly water over an ice ball into a glass. Stir gently, taste and adjust, and enjoy. 

Boiled Custard is a traditional holiday drink that is enjoyed in the South every Christmas. Cheap and easy to prepare, this is a family favorite!

Boiled Custard

500 milliliters (2 cups) double cream

500 milliliters (2 cups) whole milk

vanilla

whipped cream

Combine the cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg yolks, until the mixture has gone pale in colour and doubled in size.

Temper hot milky mixture into the sugar yolk mixture, by slowly adding hot milky mixture about 60ml (1/4 cup) at a time, whisking to distribute heat. Once half of the milky mixture has been added, transfer mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milky mixture.

Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until mixture reaches nappé consistency, or 80°C (180°F) on a kitchen thermometer.

Remove from heat and pour the custard into a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl into icy water and stir until the custard has cooled.

Once it has cooled to a suitable temperature, it is ready to drink.

For an added touch, top with whipped cream and grate nutmeg over the top. Enjoy!
