Spicy eggnog

Eggnog is a favorite Christmas drink of Europeans and Americans, based on raw egg yolks and milk, very reminiscent of our eggnog. The homeland of the dessert is Scotland. In the classic recipe, it is customary to add alcohol - rum, whiskey or brandy, but I decided to move away from this version and prepare a non-alcoholic version.

Mix milk, spices and condensed milk in a small saucepan.
Place the resulting mixture on medium heat and, stirring constantly, heat for 5 minutes, without bringing to a boil.
Grind the yolks, separated from the whites, with sugar until creamy and fluffy using a whisk.
In small portions (1 tablespoon each) pour warm milk into the yolks, continuing to stir regularly;
I pour the resulting mixture into a saucepan, put it on low heat and simmer until it thickens. The process usually takes 10 minutes.
I remove the eggnog from the heat, add vanilla, let it cool and pour into cups.
Before serving, decorate the drink with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nutmeg.
