This recipe was taught to me by my mother, I literally took one sip and omg, it was SO good!
You can taste the difference between store bought and homemade for sure!
Its insanely easy to make too- much easier than you would think!
Lets skip the cartons from the supermarket this year and replace it with good ole fashioned homemade goodness of eggnog bliss!
This will keep in the fridge for roughly a week or so, not like my family ever has any leftover eggnog as it is, but you never know 🙂
Adding alcohol is always optional depending on who is going to be enjoying this delicious treat
I usually make one container of each
