For an even smoother texture, consider using a blender to combine the initial ingredients. Adjust the amount of nutmeg to your preference. A little goes a long way! The alcohol content can be adjusted to your liking. Reduce or omit the rum for a milder flavor. Pasteurized eggs are recommended for those concerned about consuming raw eggs. This eggnog can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
