### Nutmeg Nog Delight

This homemade eggnog, also known as Nutmeg Nog Delight, is a delightful and creamy holiday beverage that can be enjoyed with or without a touch of bourbon. The rich combination of whole milk, heavy cream, and freshly grated nutmeg gives this eggnog a luxurious flavor. The yolks are tempered and blended with sugar before being mixed with the heated milk and cream. Whisked egg whites are then folded into the mixture to create a light and frothy texture. Serve this classic eggnog chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a cozy and festive treat.
