Part 4/6:
To elevate the flavor profile of your eggnog, add vanilla extract and a hint of salt once the mixture has thickened. These small but mighty additions make a notable difference, balancing the sweetness while enhancing the overall taste. For those who wish to add a spirited twist, a splash of rum can easily be incorporated, making your eggnog an adult treat.
The Final Touch
Once your eggnog has reached the desired thickness, it’s time to strain the mixture into a container, eliminating any tiny lumps that may have formed. Allow it to cool completely before refrigerating. This drink can be made ahead of time—up to two days in advance—making it convenient for holiday entertaining.
