Put the sugar in a saucepan with 5 tbsp water. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved, then cool and refrigerate.
Beat the yolks with the vanilla until smooth. Beat in the condensed milk, brandy and cooled syrup.
Pour into a jug and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs. Serve within 24 hrs over ice. You can whisk the egg whites and fold them into the eggnog just before serving, if you like.
