If you’re a Holidays enthusiast like me, waiting for eggnog to hit the stores won’t work for you! There’s also something about making eggnog from scratch that makes it taste that much better. One thing’s for sure… once you make it homemade once, you may have a hard time going back to store-bought!
This eggnog is also the star ingredient of the ultimate Christmas morning breakfast recipe for Make-Ahead Eggnog French Toast – the best gift you can give someone this year!

- 2 cups whole milk
