Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk of your choice divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • tiny pinch sea salt
  • 5-10 drops liquid stevia
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon nutmeg to your liking

Instructions

  • Begin by warming ONE CUP of milk in a small saucepan.
  • In a separate medium saucepan, whisk together the eggs and sugar.
  • Once the milk is warmed, begin whisking it into the pan with the eggs and sugar VERY SLOWLY (continuously whisk the mixture until you've added all the warm milk). This step is done to 'temper' the eggs, meaning heat them up slowly to avoid scrambling them.
  • Bring the pan back to the stove over medium low heat and continuously stir it to avoid scorching. I use a wooden spoon at this point.
  • Heat the mix until it thickens a bit and the temperature reaches 160 degrees (about 1-2 minutes). Don't go longer or it will curdle.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, and slowly stir in the remaining cup of milk, vanilla, salt, stevia, and nutmeg. Add the nutmeg to suit your taste.
  • Chill until cold and serve! If you have little bits of egg in your nog, just blend the mixture on low for 5-10 seconds to make it smooth.
