Ingredients

You won’t believe that this delicious latte only requires two simple ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Eggnog: You can use store-bought eggnog for a quick and easy option. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own homemade maple eggnog. It’s simple, takes little effort, and offers a wonderfully rich flavor thanks to the addition of maple.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s dive into the process of making a hot homemade eggnog latte, which is the most popular option. If you prefer an iced version, don’t worry – I’ve included instructions in the recipe card.

Step 1: Start by pouring your eggnog into a small saucepan and warming it gently over medium heat.

Step 2: While the eggnog warms, brew some espresso.

Step 3: Once the eggnog begins to steam and small bubbles appear on the surface, turn off the stove and vigorously whisk the eggnog. This creates the frothy topping that makes lattes so special.

Step 4: Finally, pour the frothy eggnog into a serving mug with the espresso and gently stir to combine the two.

And there you have it! For an extra touch of holiday fun, top your homemade eggnog latte with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg. Sit back, relax by the fireplace, and savor every sip of this cozy and festive treat.

Expert Tips

• Own a milk frother tool or machine? Feel free to use it instead – no need to change the recipe measurements. I provide the stove-top method so that everyone, whether or not they have latte equipment, can enjoy a delicious holiday eggnog latte.

• When pouring the eggnog on top, be gentle to ensure the liquid goes into the mug, leaving plenty of foam to pour on top.

• Avoid boiling the eggnog. We want it to create steam on top with small bubbles forming on the surface.

• Use a larger mug than your typical coffee cup to accommodate the eggnog, espresso, and foam. Latte mugs are perfect.

Perfect Pairing

This Christmas latte deserves a delectable holiday brunch treat. Luckily, I have a few options for you to consider. Try my gingerbread waffles, apple cinnamon rolls, or pumpkin crullers. These sweet treats pair perfectly with the decadent ‘nog and warming spices. You’ll also love these gingerbread pancakes from Holiday Sweets n Treats.

For an eggnog latte that’s even better than Starbucks, this recipe is a must-try. It’s the perfect homemade holiday latte to keep you feeling cozy and festive during this special time of year. Cheers!
