Cozy Eggnog Latte Recipe
Is there anything cozier than a warm glass of eggnog by a roaring fire? Take your favorite holiday drink to the next level by turning it into a latte. Your taste buds will thank you!
Equipment
- Espresso or coffee maker
- Spoon or whisk
- Stove-safe pan
- Coffee cup or glass mug
Ingredients
- 10 ounces eggnog
- 2 ounces espresso or strong coffee
- Nutmeg
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Whether you are using espresso or strong coffee, you will need to grind it first. If you're making espresso, we recommend 20-22 grams of fresh, finely-ground coffee beans. If you are using another extraction method, we recommend using more coffee than you normally would. We advise against flavored coffees, as this will only detract from the delicious eggnog spices.
- Make or heat your eggnog. Heat refrigerated eggnog on the stove over low heat. We want to avoid burning or boiling the 'nog, so keep it below 160 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're using powdered eggnog, whisk it with hot water until you have smooth, frothy liquid.
- Extract your coffee. Whatever method you have chosen, now is the time to brew your espresso. You can use any espresso machine, portable espresso maker, or Moka pot. If you prefer, you can substitute strong coffee brewed using your favorite method.
- Now it's time to put it all together! Many lattes use frothed milk, but eggnog already has its own flavor profile and creamy sweetness, so it just needs to be heated. Pour the eggnog over the coffee. Using a spoon or whisk, mix the eggnog and coffee thoroughly.
- Top with cinnamon and nutmeg, and you’ll have a wonderful and festive holiday drink!
Notes
You don't need any fancy barista equipment for this drink, but if you have it, it might come in handy! Everything on this list can be found in your kitchen or at the local grocer’s.
Around the holidays, cartons of eggnog can be easily found in grocery stores. If you're craving an eggnog latte at a different time of year, we recommend buying a powdered eggnog mix online.
