Eggnog Latte Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup eggnog – homemade version on my site
• 1 cup espresso or strong coffee
• 1/2 cup milk
• whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg – to serve

Instructions

Make the eggnog (ahead of time, if possible).

• Whisk the egg yolks and the sugar together.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and ground nutmeg over medium heat. Heat mixture to about 165 degrees, whisking often. Don’t boil.
• Temper the eggs. Use a measuring cup to dip into the saucepan, and drizzle heated mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly. Continue adding the hot liquid until about half of it has been added to the eggs. Then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and continue heating until the liquid is at 165 degrees. Remove from heat.
• You can use the eggnog immediately for your lattes, if desired. Or store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. The eggnog will thicken slightly as it sits.

Make lattes:

• In a small saucepan, combine the espresso (or strong coffee), one cup of eggnog, and the milk. Heat up until hot, whisking as you go.
• Pour into two large holiday mugs, add some whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and enjoy!

Notes

• Store your leftover eggnog in a mason jar and make these cozy drinks on repeat.
