Ingredients

• • 2 ⅞ cups unsweetened almond milk
• • 1 ⅞ can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

• • 1 ⅞ cinnamon stick (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a high-speed blender, combine almond milk, coconut milk, flaxseed, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder. Blend on high for 1 minute until fully emulsified.

2. 2

   Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any lumps or flaxseed clumps. Stir gently to ensure smooth consistency.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.

   Pour the chilled eggnog into glasses. Garnish each with a star anise and cinnamon stick. Serve immediately for best texture.
