you supposed to serve it immediately,but if your not make sure you stir it good every time you go to get a glass. this was a recipe i got from somewhere but my family and i had revised it to our likings.i do not want to brag but people ask me now if i'm making eggnog this year as they did the last 6yrs it is very good. if you use to much rum it over powers the nog. but will blend in good overnight.and the egg part if you can get free range eggs those are the best duck eggs make it sweeter and richer and that was found out by accident.i used the wrong eggs by mistake.my wife uses duck eggs for making cookies cakes and such.my in laws are hippies so i have access to free range eggs. i hope you enjoy
