Notes

When simmering the milk, be careful that the milk doesn't overflow from the pan. Keep the temperature just enough for the milk to boil but always be ready to lower the heat if the milk starts to rise.
If you want to serve the eggnog warm, don't pass the 140 F - 60 C when you heat it up, otherwise, the egg will cook.
