Homemade Creamy Eggnog without alcohol

This is one of my backlog post which I made it for last year's Christmas.  I tried out this Milk Punch recipe for the first time.  It's a sweetened drink traditionally made with dairy milk, cream, sugar and eggs.  It can be served chilled or warmed.  I prefers mine chilled. 

Ingredients:

4 egg yolks

6 tbsp. granulated sugar (can add more if you prefers yours sweeter)

1 1/2 cups milk

3/4 cups whipping cream

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Methods:

1. Start by whisking the egg yolks and sugar together until they form a light whipped consistency and the color turns yellow.
2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, whipping cream and nutmeg over medium-low heat.  Bring to a low simmer while stirring the entire time.
3. Remove from the heat and whisk a spoonful of the milk mixture into the egg mixture.
4. Continue doing this slowly, whisking the entire time to temper the eggs without scrambling them.
5. Once all of the milk has been added to the eggs, return it back to the stove.  Heat over medium-low heat and continue whisking the eggnog for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Remove from the heat and let cool.  Whisk the vanilla extract into the eggnog.
7. Once it has cooled, place it in a sealed airtight jar/container; or jug/pitcher, and cover with plastic wrap.
8. Place it in the fridge and cool for an hour or overnight.  It will thicken slightly as it cools.
