Notes
Thickness - This is a thick and creamy drink. Now if you want to make it thinner you can use 1 or 2% milk instead of a whole milk.
Straining - Depending on what you want you can strain the eggnog or choose to drink it without. If you strain use a cheesecloth with a fine mesh strainer.
Storing Leftovers - Store your leftovers in the fridge and then drink leftovers cold or warm up on the stovetop or in the microwave. If you heat in the microwave do 20-30 seconds and then stir as needed.
Cinnamon - You can add less or more cinnamon to flavor your eggnog. I like to have a bit extra as it adds so much flavor.
