This is a light, fluffy Egg Nog drink that we serve for any occasion, not just Holidays. It's easy to make, and my friends all request it, your friends will think you are wonderful for making home-made! I recommend using Kittencal's Kittencal's Homemade Vanilla for home made vanilla, quite yummy! Can be made with or without the liquor. This is from the Company's Coming cookbook.

I usually buy eggnog because I am too lazy but we forgot to get it and every store was either closed or had none, so I decided to try making some. I used this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. My kids loved it (and they usually hate eggnog). I ended up having to make another batch! Oh, I added Capt. Morgan's to the adults. I'll be using this again at Christmas!

    Made this as non-alcoholic for one of the groups I host each month, & it disappeared so fast that I was glad I'd tasted it beforehand! ABSOLUTELY GREAT, & well worth keeping the recipe around! I plan on doing this a handful of times during the coming winter holidays! Thanks for sharing your great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #20]

    Yummy! I scaled this recipe to use a single egg, and here are the proportions I followed: 1 egg, 4 Tbs plus 1 tsp powdered sugar, dash salt, dash cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla, 5/6 cup milk. Turned out very well! I think that I might have packed my powdered sugar a smidge, because mine is a tad sweet, but still very delicious. I've never made or had homemade eggnog before, but this turned out so yummy, I just might have to again! It did turn out a little less thick than store bought, but that may be my fault. I made my single serving by adding everything to a jar and shaaaaa-king the heck out of it. I think the 24 hour refrigeration time is important- I tried a sip of it when I was putting it in the fridge, but its so much better and more egg-noggy now! I tried this both plain and with a touch of a nice cognac. Yummmm! I wish I had made more! Thanks for posting- I see how this would be a crowd-pleaser.

    This was good. But I think we were missing something because we didn't put in the alcohol. It was fairly "milk-y" and not much egg flavour. Good if you like it that way. I served it to three kids and only one liked it a lot. Thanks! We enjoyed making it.
