In reply to Brian. No, it would not cook off.

This was so good – thank you! I used another commenter’s suggestion to whip the second cup of cream and blend in before serving, and that was also helpful. This was perfect for the holidays – thank you!

Is it absolutely necessary to let it cool for 4 hours before serving?

What would happening if I put in a little spiced rum into the milk at the beginning…would it cook off the alcohol but keep the flavoring? Advisable or not?

I hope you don’t mind me making a suggestion. Your recipe says to heat the milk on the lowest stove setting for 5 minutes. After doing this, the milk wasn’t warm in the slightest. I then watched your video which said to heat on medium low. Huge difference between lowest heat on the stove and medium low. Consequently my eggnog did not thicken correctly. This is not the first time this has occurred. I don’t mind watching the videos, but it if it’s a necessity and the recipe changes, I think it would be helpful to inform your readers. Thanks!

This is a great recipe, everyone ive served it to raves about it. I prefer the cinnamon sticks to powdered cinnamon as i believe it gives a more uniform flavor distribution. I also think its better after it sits for a day or two so the flavors fully blend together. Absolutely recommend!! It has become a holiday tradition!

I made this yesterday and it was really easy! I didn’t have all of the heavy cream I needed so I tried to substitute some of it with butter and milk, but it started to harden in the fridge, so we left it out, covered, and later, we came back and heated it up over the stove top and strained it, and voilà! Delicious! Keeping the cinnamon sticks in is a wonderful idea, and it was really thick but was easily thinned by milk. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!
