- Add milk, flavoring, and mix thoroughly.
- Chill the mixture overnight if possible.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or using whole milk instead of a lower-fat option. If you're looking for a vegan alternative, try using almond or coconut milk along with a plant-based egg substitute. To enhance your eggnog, a touch of cinnamon can be added for warmth, and for those who enjoy a hint of citrus, a bit of orange zest works wonders.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your eggnog in chilled tumblers, garnished with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg for a festive touch. It pairs beautifully with sweet treats like German Town Cookies or a slice of Swedish Birthday Cake for a delightful holiday gathering. For a cozy evening, enjoy it alongside a warm slice of Milk And Honey Balls.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover eggnog in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir as ingredients may separate. If you prefer it chilled, you can pour it back into a glass and add ice cubes for a refreshing drink, but avoid reheating as the texture may change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular eggs instead of Egg Beaters?
Yes, you can use regular eggs instead of Egg Beaters. For this recipe, about 4 large eggs will substitute well. Just make sure to whisk them thoroughly to achieve a similar consistency.

To make this eggnog dairy-free, substitute the milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk. Ensure that you choose a variety that has a creamy texture to mimic the richness of traditional eggnog.
