As a note- I also heated up my eggnog because the idea of a raw egg makes me slightly nervous. You don’t have to heat the mixture; in fact, the original did not.
Another humorous side note- This recipe is listed under “Food for the Sick” in Ellen Emlen’s table of contents.
Add two eggs to a bowl. Beat until light in color.
Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a pot over medium-low heat. Make sure not to boil, but heat until steaming.
Add some of the milk mixture to the egg mixture and whisk to combine. (This is called tempering, you do this so bring up the temperature of the eggs so they don’t separate when added to the entire pot of hot milk).
