Holiday Drinks: DIY Eggnog Latte

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday December 22, 20114 comments


Calories be damned, I absolutely adore eggnog. It's one of my favourite parts of the holiday season. Because I love eggnog so much, I'm always the first in line to snag a hot eggnog latte at my local coffee shop. This got me thinking, if I could whip myself up a DIY pumpkin spice latte why couldn't I do the same with an eggnog latte? Just think- a delicious eggnog latte, in the comfort of my own home with my favourite movie playing in the background! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? So, here it is- an easy, no fuss recipe for an eggnog latte!

What you'll need

2/3 cup milk 
1 1/3 cup eggnog 
1-2 shot(s) espresso 
1-2 Cinnamon Stick(s) 

Pinch of ground nutmeg 

Step 1: Egg-cellent Latte! 


Mix the milk and eggnog together in saucepan. Turn on medium heat. Break 1-2 cinnamon sticks in half and add to mixture. Stir occasionally. 

Step 2: Whip it! 
 

Whisk the mixture to create a light froth. Turn up heat to med-high. You can also use a frother if you have one on hand. The mixture needs to be hot enough, but shouldn't boil over. 

Step 3: Java Junkie! 
  


Pour mixture into a mug, making sure that the cinnamon sticks don't pour in as well. Add 1-2 shots of espresso, depending on your taste. 

Step 4: Final Product!


Sprinkle with a dash of nutmeg and you're ready to enjoy this yummy beverage!
