For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with an equal amount of milk or apple cider. Pasteurizing the eggnog is recommended for food safety. You can do this by gently heating the milk and egg yolk mixture in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Cool completely before chilling.
