📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine heavy cream, ginger, vanilla, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 cups milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until tiny bubbles begin to appear around the edge of the pot (do not let boil), 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep ⏱️ 30 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, beat egg yolks with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Gradually beat in sugar and salt. Increase mixer speed to high and beat until thick and very pale in color, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes.
3
Strain spiced cream mixture, discarding spices; return to pot. Slowly whisk 1 cup warm cream mixture into yolk-sugar mixture on low speed; return to pot with cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until mixture reaches 170°F and coats the spatula, 12 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.
4
Place the pot over a large bowl filled with ice water and let cool, stirring occasionally, until chilled, 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Stir in rum, cognac, or bourbon and remaining 2 cups milk.
5
Just before serving, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes; fold into eggnog. Serve topped with nutmeg.
