Cooked EggNog

Eggnog is a recipe which is usually made during the winter holidays but it is such a nutrition rich drink and so creamy and delicious that my kids love it any time of the year. And since I am serving it to kids I don't give them the uncooked version but I make the cooked eggnog and I feel safe about it. Because I am not sure about serving raw eggs to anybody, let alone kids.
                  I have been making this eggnog for a long time now. I can't remember where I got the recipe from. I hope you too will enjoy it as much as me and my family does. So here you go
