Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Base
- 2 shots espresso (or 2 cups strongly brewed coffee)
Milk Mixture
- 2 cups eggnog
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, pour the eggnog and milk together over medium heat. If using brewed coffee instead of espresso, add the coffee to the saucepan at this time. Heat the mixture gently, stirring regularly, until warm, about 5 minutes.
- Froth the Mixture: Using an immersion blender, blend the warm eggnog mixture until it becomes frothy and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can skip this step or alternatively use a regular blender carefully.
- Assemble the Latte: Pour one shot of espresso into each of two mugs. Divide the frothed eggnog mixture evenly between the mugs.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle a light dusting of nutmeg on top of each latte. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso shots or use a stronger brew.
- You can substitute the milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version, although it may alter the traditional taste and frothiness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, ensure that your eggnog does not contain alcohol.
- The immersion blender is optional but helps create a creamy froth similar to coffee shop versions.
- Adjust the amount of nutmeg to taste or garnish with cinnamon for a different flavor twist.
