3. Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture.
4. Return the mixture to the pan and heat over medium heat while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggnog thickens. (About 5-8 minutes).

7. Once chilled, strain the eggnog through a sieve. Serve sprinkled with a little cinnamon or a grate of fresh nutmeg.

Ann's Tips and Tricks
If you don’t have skim milk, 2% or even whole will still have fewer calories than the traditional recipe which calls for a mix of milk and heavy cream. And if you miss the tang of liquor, try sweetening with half light amber maple syrup and half sugar.
