Rich and Creamy Homemade Eggnog Recipe Grandma- style
Recipe for homemade eggnog. Even though making eggnog at this time of year is not a Jamaican tradition, my grandmother always did. She has spent a considerable amount of time in the States, where she has partially adapted. If the homemade eggnog isn't frozen, my stomach won't let me consume it.
