Eggnog, a mixture of eggs and alcohol, has been a traditional American Christmastime drink since the late 1700s. This “virgin” version of eggnog is great for kids or adults who prefer a nonalcoholic beverage. Cooking the mixture staves off the possibility of salmonella transmission from the raw eggs.

Nonalcoholic Eggnog Recipe
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Freshly grated nutmeg
-
Whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, and eggs in a medium-sized nonreactive saucepan.
-
Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Or you may refrigerate it, serve it cold, or reheat it before serving. If it thickens with refrigeration, simply thin with a little extra milk.
