What's the holiday season without a glass of creamy eggnog?

To complete this How-To you will need:

Six eggs or one and a half c. of egg substitute
1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 qt. milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Ground nutmeg
One can of fat-free evaporated milk
3 c. skim milk
Rum, cognac, brandy, or whiskey

Warning: Raw eggs present a slight risk of salmonella and other food-borne illnesses, so use only fresh, intact eggs and do not let the yolk and whites come in contact with the outside of the shell. Pregnant women, children, the elderly, and anyone with a compromised immune system should avoid eating raw eggs.

Step 1: Rinse the eggshells

If you're using eggs, rinse the shells thoroughly before breaking them.

Step 2: Beat the eggs

Beat the eggs or egg substitute until foamy.

Step 3: Add sugar and salt

Beat in the sugar and salt until the nog is thick. It will be a pale yellow color.

Step 4: Stir in the milk

Stir in the milk, half-and-half, or cream, along with the vanilla, and chill for a few hours.

Tip: For a low-fat nog, use one can of fat-free evaporated milk and three cups of skim milk.

Step 5: Serve

Pour into glasses and sprinkle on some nutmeg. There should be enough to serve six to ten people.

Tip: If you want alcoholic eggnog, add a jigger of dark liquor—like rum, cognac, brandy, or whiskey—to your glass of nog.

Step 6: Cook the nog

To use real eggs without the worry, stir half the milk with the beaten eggs and sugar over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a consistency that coats a spoon. Then stir in the remaining milk and chill overnight.
