Ben's Eggnog

This is for Ben, our resident eggnog-lover. Unfortunately for him, I refuse to buy eggnog because it's triple (or more) the price of milk! Fortunately for him, I found a recipe and make it myself. Here it is:

Homemade Eggnog
5 eggs, lightly beaten
2/3 cups sugar
5 cups milk
shake or two of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

In a saucepan, combine eggs, sugar, milk, salt. Cook on medium heat (stirring almost constantly) for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens enough to coat a spoon. Do not boil. Remove from heat, add vanilla, and chill pan in a pan of ice water to help cool it quickly. Pour through a strainer into your storage container. Chill in fridge. If you like "fancy" eggnog feel free to add whipped cream and nutmeg when serving.
