Egg-Nog - Classic Cooked
🥃 Serve in: Pitcher
Eggs, sugar, salt, and milk get gently heated together here rather than left raw, which thickens the mixture into something smoother and safer than the shortcut versions. Vanilla rounds it out, and with no spirit in the base, it's the family-friendly holiday classic that works for everyone at the table. Served from a pitcher, built for a crowd.
