Traditional Rompope Mexican Eggnog

Never underestimate the comfort of a creamy, spiced Rompope. This Traditional Mexican Eggnog is a festive treat that’s surprisingly easy to make at home.

Ingredients

– 4 cups whole milk (the richer, the better for that luxurious texture) – 1 cinnamon stick (I always go for Mexican canela for its subtle sweetness) – 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust if you like it less sweet) – 4 egg yolks (room temp eggs blend smoother) – 1 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract makes all the difference) – 1/2 cup rum (optional, but it adds a nice kick) – Ground cinnamon for garnish (a light dusting is perfect)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups whole milk and 1 cinnamon stick. Heat over medium until it simmers, about 5 minutes. 2. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes to infuse the milk with cinnamon flavor. 3. In a bowl, whisk 4 egg yolks and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. 4. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling. 5. Return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. 6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 cup rum if using. 7. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the cinnamon stick and any egg bits. 8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. 9. Serve cold, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. How the Rompope turns out is a silky, rich drink with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Try serving it over ice for a refreshing twist or warm it slightly for a cozy night in.
