Ingredients for Raw Milk Eggnog

Here’s what you’ll need for this homemade eggnog recipe:

• 6 fresh eggs – Straight from your flock or a trusted source. Quality matters since these are consumed raw.
• 1/2 cup maple syrup – Adds a natural sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor.
• 1/4 tsp salt – Enhances all the other flavors beautifully.
• 2 cups raw milk – Stick to whole milk for the creamiest results.
• 2 cups raw cream – Raw cream is ideal, but heavy cream works if that’s what you have.
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract – A splash of vanilla gives the eggnog its signature warm and cozy flavor.
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg – Freshly grated nutmeg is best for that classic eggnog spice, plus extra for sprinkling on top.

Tools You May Need

• Whisk – Perfect for mixing your ingredients by hand and ensuring everything is smooth and creamy.
• Blender – A standard or immersion blender works great for blending the ingredients quickly and evenly.
• Food Processor – A food processor on the purée setting can achieve the same smooth consistency as a blender.

How to Make Raw Milk Eggnog

1. Combine the ingredients: Mix all the eggnog ingredients—egg yolks, maple syrup, raw milk, raw cream, vanilla extract, salt, and ground nutmeg—with a whisk, blender, or food processor. Blend until smooth and well combined.

2. Chill: Transfer the mixture to a half-gallon glass mason jar or pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours to let the flavors meld.

3. Serve: Pour into cups, sprinkle with additional ground or freshly grated nutmeg, and enjoy!

That’s it—you’ve just created a creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced batch of homemade raw eggnog.

Why I Make Raw Milk Eggnog at Home

Store-bought eggnog doesn’t hold a candle to the homemade version. Not only does making your own eggnog give you control over the ingredients, but the taste is unmatched.

Raw milk and raw cream add a natural sweetness and richness you can’t get from pasteurized products. Plus, the bioavailable vitamins and digestive enzymes in raw dairy products make it a nutrient-dense treat.

And let’s not forget the eggs. Fresh eggs from my own chickens aren’t just a good thing—they’re the best thing. Their yolks are a vibrant orange packed with essential nutrients that support everything from brain health to the intestinal tract.
