Best Cooked Eggnog - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 egg yolks
6 whole eggs, room temperature
2 cups heavy cream
6 cups milk
1 1/2 cups sugar (or stevia)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon clove (about 1/10t)
1/16 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Whisk the eggs and yolks, then add the cream, sugar, and spices. Add the milk, whisk until thoroughly combined (immersion blender is best).
In a heavy-bottom pan, cook the mixture over low heat, whisking constantly, for a few minutes. Then increase the heat to medium-low (no higher), and cook, whisking constantly, until the temperature of the mixture is 180\u00b0F, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add the salt, and cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. Then refrigerate until cold.
