Has anyone tried making egg nog before? Is it easy or difficult to get the kind of texture that you like? Are there any low-sugar ingredients that I can use to make it less sweet?

I don't even know how to make an egg nog I only buy and eat them from the store hehehe.

I know that the holiday season is the best (and probably only) season to get egg nog, but there are times when I want egg nog, like when it's out of season. That's when I need to make my own.

I have made egg nogs lately. I just follow this simple recipe online.
Ingredients:

* 1 cup milk
* 1 1/2 cups chocolate milk
* 5 eggs
* 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
* 1/2 cup whipping cream
* 1/2 cup Kahlua (or strong coffee)
* 1/2 cup dark rum
* 1/2 tsp ground cinammon

Preparation:
Combine milk and chocolate milk in a saucepan and scald (do not boil). In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar together until thick. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture and mix through. Then stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk, and place over low heat. Add whipping cream and Kahlua. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Do not boil. Remove from heat and add rum and cinnamon. Let cool and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a sprinkling of grated chocolate and nutmeg.

wow, this egg nog sounds so delicious and it is just easy to prepare. I have to try this some time. At first I thought, this eggnog is our local brand, it is like a cookie. Anyway thanks for sharing the recipe

I wish stores sold it year round! That would be so yummy
