Wintertime always brings eggnog back to the stores. You find people who love it or hate it but no matter what side of the fence you are on when it comes to drinking eggnog it is still great in many recipes during the holiday time! My new favorite eggnog recipe is this easy eggnog oatmeal. I like using the homemade eggnog recipe at the bottom instead of buying store-bought this way I make what I need and there is no waste.
Easy Eggnog Oatmeal + Homemade Eggnog Recipe
Is Homemade eggnog safe?
Yes as long as it's properly stored. I personally would make sure to use it up within 24 hours of making it just to be safe. Since it's so easy to make just make small batches as needed. There is a simple recipe at the bottom of the post for homemade eggnog.
How long does homemade eggnog last?
About 2-3 days but I personally use up a homemade one within 24 hours. I make it in small batches and make more as needed just to be safe.
Is eggnog good in coffee?
Many people to like to have their eggnog in their coffee. One recipe for that I like is adding a bit of nutmeg to the coffee grounds before brewing the coffee and the brew as normal. Add the eggnog in once the coffee is brewed and enjoy.
