- If you want to make eggnog yourself, you should make sure that you use fresh , organic eggs. The eggs are processed in the raw state in the eggnog. For this reason, pay particular attention to hygiene.
- Homemade eggnog can be stored in a dark and cool place for up to three months. A prerequisite for the shelf life is the hygienic processing of the ingredients. If bacteria get into the eggnog, the shelf life is drastically reduced.
