How to make homemade eggnog | H-E-B Holiday Tips

Add 1 cinnamon stick and 5 cloves to a pan.

Pour in 2 cups of whole milk.

Scald the milk until it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 egg yolks, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until ribbons form.

Once the milk is scalded, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.

Temper the scalded milk into the egg yolk mixture to prevent scrambling the eggs.

Return the tempered mixture back to the pan and cook on medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until it reaches a nape consistency, stirring constantly.

Add 1/2 cup half-and-half and 1 cup heavy cream to the mixture and stir to combine.
