A smooth, creamy, spicy "egg nog", made with milk and cream, vanilla pudding, nutmeg, and cinnamon

2 quarts (8 cups) cold pasturized milk
1 package (3.5 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla*
1 cup heavy whipping cream

1. Pour pudding into a pitcher or jug with a tight-fitting lid; an empty gallon milk jug works very well. If using an empty milk jug you may want to use a funnel.

2. Add milk and shake until pudding powder is thoroughly mixed and dissolved, about 2 minutes.

3. Mix sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a small cup or bowl. Stirring the mixture with a spoon will allow you to use the sugar as an abrasive to break up the spices and allow them to mix smoothly into your nog.

4. Add sugar and spice mixture as well as the vanilla to the milk and pudding mixture. Stir or shake vigorously.

5. Add heavy whipping cream and stir thoroughly.

*You can double the vanilla if desired. Also, you can add rum extract if desired.

This is a delicious, flavorful egg nog. I am not a fan of egg nog, but I thought this was pretty good! Next time I will definitely leave out the extra 1/4 cup of sugar, since I thought it was plenty sweet. My two-year-old loved drinking this. Very easy to make, and cheaper than buying egg nog from the store! My rating: 8/10.
