A secret to making your eggnog truly delicious is toasting the spices, as this allows them to release all their aroma and flavor. So, I recommend not skipping this step, it makes all the difference!

Sweetness to taste: If you prefer a sweeter eggnog, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking.
Adjust the alcohol: If you want a milder eggnog, reduce the amount of rum or even omit it if you prefer it alcohol-free.
