Notes
For this eggnog recipe, you'll be using the whole eggs, both the yolks and the whites. The combination of both gives the eggnog a creamy and frothy texture. If you have concerns about raw eggs, you may choose to use pasteurized eggs for added safety.There are 8 fluid ounces in a cup. Keep in mind that this measurement applies to liquid volume, so when dealing with dry ingredients, the weight may vary depending on the substance.This recipe yields about a quarter of a gallon. If you want 1 gallon, double the recipe. And you can always adjust the recipe to your needs.I used 2% milk.I only used cinnamon. Homemade eggnog typically lasts for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator. It's essential to keep it well chilled at all times. The high sugar and alcohol content can help preserve it to some extent, but for the best quality and safety, it's recommended to consume it within that timeframe. If you notice any off smells or changes in texture, it's advisable to discard it.
