Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of powdered milk?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk for powdered milk by using 4 cups of liquid milk and adjusting the other ingredients accordingly. However, the powdered milk gives a more concentrated flavor, so keep that in mind when making your adjustments.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make the Zippy Eggnog-Mix vegan, substitute the powdered milk with a plant-based milk powder and use a non-dairy coffee creamer. Ensure that the custard mix is also vegan-friendly, as some brands may contain dairy.
Can I add alcohol to this eggnog mix?
Absolutely! For a traditional holiday drink, add rum, bourbon, or brandy to the prepared eggnog. Start with a shot per serving and adjust to taste. Just remember to serve responsibly and keep it festive!
