Egg Nog for Christmas Eve

It is a tradition in our family to serve Egg Nog while opening gifts...store bought Egg Nogs are too sweet for our taste...this recipe from my mother is absolutely delicious!  Bon Appetit!

2 yolks, set aside egg whites
3 cups of whole milk
2/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
nutmeg

In a deep sauce pan whisk two egg yolks until blended. Add sugar. On a medium heat, whisk in 3 cups of whole milk a little at a time, stirring constantly until the mixture coats the back of a stainless steel spoon. Remove from heat and add 1 tsp. of vanilla extract.

For the topping:

Egg whites
2/3 cup of sugar

Beat egg whites until frothy. Add 2/3 cups of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, fold into egg nog; simmer. Pour into cups or mugs and dust with nutmeg.

This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc.
