Analyzing cooking steps...
Using a thermometer is the most reliable way to ensure the eggnog is cooked safely to 160°F (70°C) without scrambling the eggs.
The eggnog will continue to thicken as it chills in the refrigerator.
Straining the mixture is an important step to remove any small bits of cooked egg or spices, resulting in a perfectly smooth drink.
The alcohol is optional but adds a traditional warming flavor. You can adjust the amount to your preference.
