Equipment

1 Blender

Ingredients

2 cups half & half
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup honey
dash of salt
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. nutmeg plus more for garnish

Instructions

In a blender, add all of the ingredients. If you use pasteurized eggs, you can just blend up the ingredients and be done. If using raw eggs, then make the cooked version and heat up the eggnog mixture until it reaches 160 degrees to make sure it is safe to consume.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the egg mixture to a medium saucepan.
Place over medium-low heat. Whisking frequently until it reaches 160 degrees F. You don't want to leave unattended, as it can easily heat too high and curdle the eggs.
Once it hits temperature, serve warm or transfer the hot mixture to an airtight container (be careful not to burn yourself) and place in the fridge for a few hours to cool.
Enjoy. I like to add some homemade whipped cream, sprinkle of cinnamon or sprinkles, and a cinnamon stick to be a little extra festive.
