Course: Beverage
Author: Eggnog.ws

Ingredients

  • 6 cups of skim milk

  • 2 teaspoons of rum extract
  • Ground nutmeg and cinnamon or you can use a bit of pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Remove from microwave or stove top and stir in the remaining ingredients. Next, cover the mixture very tightly with plastic wrap and chill. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg and cinnamon if desired. You can even add a dollop of nonfat, sugar free topping for an added treat!
