Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Traditional Mexican Rompope (Eggnog).
Step 1
Begin by pouring whole milk into a large saucepan, then add white sugar and cinnamon sticks.
Step 2
Gently heat the mixture over low flame, stirring continuously until it reaches a soft boil.
Step 3
Allow it to simmer until the milk reduces by just over one-third, which should take around 20 minutes.
Step 4
Once reduced, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks until they are thick and pale.
Step 6
Gradually incorporate a small amount of the warm milk mixture to temper the yolks, ensuring a smooth blend.
Step 7
Next, return the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture.
Step 8
Stir thoroughly and place it back on low heat.
Step 9
Cook while stirring constantly, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 10
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks.
Step 11
Allow the mixture to cool to a lukewarm temperature, which will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 12
Finally, stir in the rum and let the mixture cool completely for about 2 hours.
Step 13
Serve it chilled or at room temperature for a delightful treat.
Step 14
Enjoy the rich flavors and comforting aroma that fill your kitchen as you create this delicious concoction.
