Just in time for New Years: Homemade Eggnog!

This is adapted from a very very old recipe I found aaaaages ago, and makes an incredibly delicious, but seriously boozy and extremely rich eggnog. It's super easy, but there is some waiting and chilling involved, so you need to start it well before your guests are showing up. Also, this is an uncooked eggnog recipe, so you'll want to serve it the day you make it, or the next day, and keep it refrigerated.

We like to use a dark and sweet, easy-drinking rum. This isn't the time to break out your really super fine Havana Club aged rum, you want something dark and sweet like Blackwell or Kraken. Bourbon is also a good alcohol to mix into this. Again something sweet and easy to drink like Buffalo Trace or similar. We love to microplane a bit of whole nutmeg on top, but if all you have is ground, that's just fine, too.

Also, thanks to everyone who's been watching and enjoying our videos! We've just passed 300 subscribers on YouTube (on Christmas day, in fact!)
