For an even smoother texture, consider using a blender to combine the milk, cream, egg yolks, vanilla, and spirit before chilling. Freshly grated nutmeg is essential for the best flavor and aroma. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Some prefer a sweeter Eggnog, while others like it less sweet. If you're concerned about using raw eggs, you can pasteurize the egg yolks by gently heating them with the milk and cream over a double boiler until they reach 160°F (71°C), then cooling completely before proceeding with the recipe.
