Submitted by FitChef2B

"This recipe was given to me a long time ago and it still serves as the best homemade egg nog ever tasted hands down. This is great for Christmas or holiday parties. Liquor is part of the ingredients (I have not made it without liquor), but the liquor does not overpower the egg nog taste you are looking for."
