| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by separating the eggs, setting aside the egg whites in a container in the refrigerator for later use. |
| 2 | In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, powdered sugar, rum, cognac, milk, and heavy cream. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and well combined. |
| 3 | Once thoroughly mixed, cover the bowl and chill the eggnog mixture in the refrigerator overnight to allow the flavors to meld and develop. |
| 4 | When you’re ready to serve, transfer the chilled eggnog mixture to a punch bowl or serving pitcher. |
| 5 | In a separate bowl, beat the reserved egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will add a light and airy texture to the eggnog. |
| 6 | Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chilled eggnog mixture until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the airy texture. |
| 7 | To finish, sprinkle a generous amount of freshly grated nutmeg over the top of the eggnog for a festive touch and added flavor. |
| 8 | Serve the homemade eggnog immediately, either chilled or over ice, and enjoy the creamy, flavorful goodness with friends and family! |
