Notes
- The eggnog will curdle if the temperature gets too high. Likewise, if the temperature is too low, the eggnog may be too thin and watery. Avoid this by keeping a careful eye on the temperature!
- If you don't have any almond milk on hand, oatmilk, coconut milk or cream will make this homemade sugar-free eggnog even creamier!
