Eggnog with Maple Syrup and Gingerbread Spices

We wanted to give our eggnog a little punch by switching out the nutmeg for Gingerbread Spice Blend. And of course you can skip the rum if you want the kids to share as well. Makes 4 cups/glasses.
Since the eggs in this recipe are not cooked, we advise using the freshest eggs possible and drinking it all the same day.
