Ingredients Needed:

• 3 ounces espresso 
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup eggnog
• Freshly ground nutmeg 
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream

How To Make Eggnog Latte?

1. Brew the coffee: Make espresso or prepare a strong cup of coffee.
2. Heat the milk and eggnog: Warm the milk and eggnog in the microwave for about 1 minute.
3. Froth the mixture: Use a milk frother until it becomes foamy and doubles in size. If you don’t have a frother, blend the mixture for 30 seconds or shake it in a jar for 1 minute.
4. Assemble the latte: Pour espresso into a cup, then add half of the frothy milk and eggnog mixture.
5. Add toppings: Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Use hot espresso for the best flavor: Hot espresso or strong coffee brings out the rich taste of eggnog and blends better with the frothed milk. If the coffee is lukewarm, the latte won’t taste as good.
• Don’t overheat the eggnog and milk: If the mixture gets too hot, the eggnog may curdle. Heat it gently until warm, but not boiling. Around 65°C is perfect.
• Froth the milk and eggnog properly: For a creamy texture, use a milk frother until it doubles in size. If you don’t have a frother, blend or shake it well until foamy. Good froth makes a big difference!
• Use fresh nutmeg for the best taste: Pre-ground nutmeg loses its flavor quickly. Grate fresh nutmeg over the top of the latte for a stronger, warmer spice flavor.
• Add whipped cream last to keep the foam light: If you love whipped cream on top, add it just before serving. This keeps the foam airy and prevents it from collapsing into the drink too quickly.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Eggnog Latte cool to room temperature. Then, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 1 day. Stir well before drinking again.
• Reheat: Pour the latte into a small pot and warm it over low heat, stirring continuously until hot. Do not let it boil to prevent separation.
