Homemade Eggnog

This is a  healthier version than what you'll find at the grocery store. Some eggnog recipes use raw eggs which, understandably, makes people a little nervous. No worries here! You'll be cooking the eggs in this recipe. So, you can relax and enjoy!

Ingredients
4 egg yolks
3 cu. almond milk or coconut milk
1/4 real maple syrup
2 tsp. vanilla extract

• Combine milk, maple syrup, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium saucepan
