Old-School Homemade Eggnog Recipe

"My family's old-school eggnog always blows people away as if it's some secret recipe, when it actually came from the Joy of Cooking. If you've only had eggnog from a carton, you're in for a treat. I've tweaked the timing and liquor added through the years to make it convenient to weave into your schedule when you have a whole mess of things to cook."
