Eggnog Extraordinaire

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

You will never purchase the store-bought again after having this, this is also wonderful without the rum, but better if added, and for a mild rum flavor use only 1 cup you may increase to up to 2 cups --- plan ahead this needs a chilling time of 24 hours before serving --- *note* this is made using *cooked* eggs

Yummy! I was looking for an eggnog recipe the eggs were cooked. I added 1 1/2 cups of rum.

Me and Eggnog got back together bc of this recipe! I will add that Dereck added another cup of rum and we still couldn't taste the alcohol! Eggnog hides alcohol flavor very well. Yummy!
