Place the eggnog into a small saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 140-155°F and remove the heat. Whisk it constantly so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom.
Pour the prepared coffee or espresso into a mug.
Add 1/2 cup of the warm eggnog and stir gently to combine.
Froth the remaining eggnog and pour it over the top.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the drink with ground nutmeg before serving and enjoy immediately.
Notes
For a Pumpkin Eggnog Latte, add 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin) to the eggnog and espresso mixture.
Try it, ICED! 🧊❄️
You can make an iced version of the Eggnog Latte by following a few modifications:
Instead of heating the eggnog, allow it to cool in the refrigerator or use chilled eggnog.
Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Pour the cooled coffee over the ice.
Add the chilled eggnog (you can use the same 3/4 cup of eggnog from the recipe) to the glass.
Stir gently to combine the coffee and eggnog.
Optionally, you can add a sprinkle of ground nutmeg on top for extra flavor.
Enjoy your iced Eggnog Latte!
This iced version is perfect for those who prefer a cold and refreshing twist on the classic Eggnog Latte.
