1 tsp ground nutmeg
to sprinkle
Equipment
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 microwave-safe mugs
- 1 microwave
- 1 fork
Instructions
- Place eggs, caster sugar and vanilla into a medium bowl.
- Whisk together well.
- Add the milk and cream and whisk together until completely combined.
- Pour the eggnog into two microwave-safe mugs.
- Heat in 30 second bursts for 4-6 minutes (times will vary slightly according to your microwave). At the end of each 30 second burst, whisk the eggnog with a fork. The eggnog is ready when it’s hot – but do not allow it to boil.

Notes
Tip
If you divide the eggnog into 4 small serves simply reduce the cooking time to 2-3 minutes.
Tip
Do not allow the eggnog to boil in the microwave – heat it in 30 second bursts, whisking with a fork each time.
Tip
Eggnog makes a lovely Christmas Eve drink – or why not leave a glass out for Santa!
Variation
To make this an adults-only eggnog, simply mix through brandy, rum or bourbon after it has cooled slightly.
Storage
Can be served warm or chilled. Store in the refrigerator.
