Want to avoid all those unnecessary additives and gut harming thickeners in store bought eggnog? Make your own! Not only is my eggnog recipe easy, it's also delicious! You can make it with or without alcohol depending on your preferences.

Homemade Eggnog Recipe:

Ingredients (Opt. for organic if possible):

4 C Whole Milk, Coconut Milk, or Oat Milk
8 Egg Yolks, Gelatin, or Agar Agar Flakes
1.5 TBSP Vanilla Extract
1.5 TSP Powdered Cinnamon
1/8 TSP Powdered Cloves
1 TSP Powdered Nutmeg or Mace
1/4 C Sugar Cane, Maple Syrup, or Honey
Rum (optional)

Old Fashioned Directions Using Any Milk:

Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend until thoroughly combined. Pour into a pretty glass pitcher, jar or leave in the blender & chill in the refrigerator. Serve as is or spike with rum. Chill & serve, sprinkled with more freshly grated nutmeg as a garnish. You can even make ice cream. Simply add it to your ice cream maker following your ice cream makers directions. 

Vegan/AIP Directions:

4 C Coconut Milk (AIP, Vegan), or Oat Milk (Vegan)
1-4 Tbsp (depending on how thick you want it) Gelatin (AIP), or Agar Agar Flakes (Vegan)
1.5 TBSP Vanilla Extract
1.5 TSP Powdered Cinnamon
1/8 TSP Powdered Cloves
1 TSP Powdered Nutmeg or Mace (AIP)
1/4 C Sugar Cane (Vegan), Maple Syrup (Vegan/AIP), or Honey (AIP)
Rum (optional - Vegan)

  1. Pour the milk of choice in a small saucepan.
  2. Whisk together the gelatin or Agar Agar, cinnamon, nutmeg or mace.
  3. Sprinkle the gelatin or Agar Agar & spices over the milk’s surface, whisk until the gelatin or Agar Agar has dissolved (this takes about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Heat the milk over medium low heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. The milk will be steamy, but not simmering.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat & add your sweetener of choice. Stir until dissolved.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  7. Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend until thoroughly combined.
  8. Chill & serve, sprinkled with more freshly grated nutmeg or mace as a festive garnish or 
pour into a pretty glass pitcher or jar. You can also leave in the blender & chill in the refrigerator. This way you can whip it up every time you are ready to pour a serving.

Serve as is or spike with rum. You can even make ice cream & a custard like Eggnog. For ice cream, simply add it to your ice cream maker following your ice cream makers directions. For gelatin Eggnog, use plenty of gelatin or agar agar flakes (whatever amount suits your tastes) & chill in a mold until set.

Enjoy!
Make your own eggnog the oldfashioned way with raw eggs. Dairy free Paleo options included!

    Do you dream about living the simple life?  Your own idyllic farm where the cows moo and the veggies are the best you've ever eaten? I've got a surprise for you, homesteading isn't easy! Join me at my small eco family farm where we stumble often, and learn as we go. This is indeed the good life, but it is also a very hard life that only rewards for that hard work... or not!  Back to the land, it's tough and I love it.Hi there! My name is Jen. I'm a "tree hugging dirt worshiper" who has been organically farming for well over a decade. It never ceases to amaze me at how much I've learned & how much I am still learning. I have studied natural health, nutrition, & herbs for over two decades. Our health & the natural world around us are connected in ways we don't often realize. How we treat the land & animals directly affects us in both body & mind. My goal is to provide others with truly natural humane goods from my own little piece of paradise, & to freely pass along whatever knowledge I pick up along the way. I am grateful every day to be able to have such a worthwhile & fulfilling job surrounded by the beauty & unpredictability of Mother Nature.
