Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Apple cider
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Allspice
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Bourbon or rum
- as desired Optional: Whipped cream
- as desired Optional: Cinnamon sticks for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, whole milk, and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Once the cider mixture is warm, slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the warm liquid into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and allspice. If adding bourbon or rum, mix it in at this stage.
Pour the hot apple eggnog into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy cup of Hot Apple Eggnog!
