Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs; slightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Imitation rum flavoring
Directions
  1. 1
    In the top of a double boiler, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. 2
    Add the milk and half-and-half to the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  3. 3
    Place the double boiler over simmering water. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. 4
    Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  5. 5
    Once cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and imitation rum flavoring.
  6. 6
    Cover the bowl and refrigerate the eggnog until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. 7
    Just before serving, strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to ensure a silky-smooth texture.
  8. 8
    Use a rotary beater or immersion blender to whip the chilled eggnog until it becomes light and frothy.
  9. 9
    Pour into chilled glasses.
  10. 10
    Sprinkle each serving generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
