• 2 tbsp sugar (for whites).
• 2 cups whole milk.
• 1 cup heavy cream.
• ½ tsp vanilla extract.
• ½ cup cannabis-infused heavy cream or milk.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Cannabis-Infused Cream or Milk: If you don’t already have infused cream or milk ready, check out my Ultimate Guide to Cannabis Infusion. You can infuse either heavy cream or whole milk, depending on your preference. Remember to decarb your cannabis first—use my Decarb Calculator to nail the process!

2. Make the Eggnog Base: Start by whisking the egg yolks and ⅓ cup of sugar in a bowl until they’re thick and pale. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla, gently heating until the mixture is steaming but not boiling. Gradually whisk the warm milk mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, then return everything to the saucepan. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly to about 160°F. Remove from heat and let it cool.

3. Fold in Cannabis-Infused Cream or Milk: Once the eggnog base has cooled, stir in your cannabis-infused cream or milk. Be sure to adjust the amount based on your desired potency, using the Dosage Calculator as a guide.

4. Whip the Egg Whites: Beat the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of sugar in a clean bowl until they form soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped whites into the cooled eggnog base, creating a light and frothy texture.

5. Customize & Enjoy: If you’d like, add your preferred booze to the mixture, stirring gently to combine. Pour the eggnog into glasses, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg, and serve it chilled or over ice.

Tips For Better Cannabis Eggnog

If you want your cannabis eggnog to be unmatched there are certain details that you should pay close attention to, here are a couple of tips that will help you stand out from the rest:

• Temper the Eggs Carefully: When combining the egg yolks with the warm milk or cream, temper them slowly to avoid curdling. Add a small amount of warm milk to the eggs, whisking continuously, before mixing everything together​.
  
  
• Chill Before Serving: Allow the eggnog to cool completely and refrigerate it for at least a few hours. This enhances the flavors and creates a creamier consistency​.
  
  
• Avoid Boiling the Mixture: High heat can degrade cannabinoids and affect the texture of the eggnog. Keep the temperature controlled during cooking.
  
  
• Spice It Up: Customize the flavor by adjusting spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla. This enhances the festive taste and complements the earthy cannabis notes.
