  1. The list of ingredients is not the same ratio as in the video…
    I went by the video & used Almond Milk… We will see if it comes out well. Did a taste test, and it seems good so far.

  2. Sometimes Chef Mark scales the ingredient amounts up or down for demonstration purposes. I hope your eggnog turns out great, let us know!
