Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, maple syrup, spices, and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled eggnog base.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
