Orange Eggnog

Separate the eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Add honey to the yolks and whisk until pale and thick, about 2–3 minutes.

Pour orange juice into the yolk mixture and stir until combined. Add the grated orange rind and mix well.

In a separate large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.

Fold the orange-yolk mixture gently into the whipped cream until no streaks remain.

In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, ensuring the bowl and beaters are free of any yolk or grease.

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the orange-cream mixture in two additions to maintain volume.

Gradually stir in the milk, folding gently until the eggnog is smooth and well combined.

Transfer the eggnog to a serving bowl or pitcher. Grate fresh nutmeg over the surface just before serving. Chill until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
