Ingredients
1cupeggnog- homemade version on my site
1cupespresso or strong coffee
1/2cupmilk
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.
