Making your own syrup is a simple way to up any dish; try this homemade rhubarb syrup or hibiscus syrup. Yes, both eggnog and maple syrup are delicious in their own right, but when you combine them something special happens. Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink made up of eggs, milk, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. It tastes like Christmas in a cup! Combine these flavors with the maple from the syrup and you have yourself a festive, warmly spiced version of maple syrup.

You can omit it if you prefer the recipe to be non-alcoholic. If you choose to keep the rum extract in your eggnog syrup, it adds a delicious toasty flavor to the condiment. Think of eggnog syrup as a warm hug on a blustery winter morning. It’s a beautiful thing. You can probably guess by now what’s in eggnog syrup – it’s delightfully simple:
