Eggless Eggnog

1 cup half and half
1/2 cup sugar
1 oz of instant vanilla pudding powder (I used two tablespoons from the 3.4 oz package, more than called for but I like thinker eggnog. the more pudding mix, the thicker the eggnog)
5 1/2 cups of milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg, plus a little for garnish
2 tsp rum or brandy extract
Whisk pudding powder and half and half until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk. Whisk in remaining ingredients. Chill for at least two hours and stir before serving. My friend makes it with 1% milk, fat free half and half, sugar free pudding mix, and splenda and hers is yummy as well.
