Description
A tasty (better than Starbucks) Eggnog Latte recipe. It’s so easy to make a latte at home without using an espresso machine!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cups Milk
- ⅔ cups Eggnog
- 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- ½ cups Freshly Brewed Unflavored Coffee At Double Concentration (or 2 Shots Espresso)
- 1 pinch Nutmeg, For Topping
Preparation
1. To make the steamed milk, there are 2 methods. You can use a stick blender or a large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
2. Pour the milk, eggnog and sugar into a microwave-safe jar or cup. I use the mixing cup that came with my stick blender. Put the lid on the jar if using that method.
3. Shake or mix (with stick blender) the milk mixture vigorously for 30-45 seconds. Stop when the mixture appears to have doubled in volume due to air bubbles.
4. Remove the cover, if applicable, and place the mixture into the microwave. Heat on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture starts to bubble up almost to the top of the jar/cup. Take care not to let the milk mixture overflow or to bubble too much and then fall flat.
5. Repeat these two steps (shaking or blending and then heating) a second time until the milk is nice and frothy.
6. Pour the hot prepared coffee (or espresso) into the bottom of a deep mug. Holding back the milk foam with a spoon, carefully pour the milk mixture into the coffee. Do not stir. Gently spoon the foam over the top. Sprinkle with some freshly grated (or ground) nutmeg if you wish.
