Separate the egg yolks (into a large mixing bowl) from the whites (into a smaller bowl).
Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or immersion blender. (OPTIONAL: Strain this mixture through a fine mesh sieve -- see notes)
In the separate, smaller bowl, beat the egg whites until they start to form stiff peaks.
Pour the beaten egg whites into the milk and egg yolk mixture and fold them in.
Funnel into jars and chill thoroughly. Shake well before serving.
Notes
*Pasteurized milk and heavy whipping cream can be substituted for the raw dairy in this recipe.*See blog post for instructions on how to cook this egg nog if you aren't comfortable with using raw eggs.*If you prefer a perfectly smooth nog with no bits of ground spices, strain the egg yolk and milk mixture through a fine mesh sieve before folding in the egg whites.
