How to Make an Eggnog Latte
A warm, balanced Eggnog Latte built on espresso and gently heated eggnog. Smooth, spiced, and easy to adjust—perfect for winter mornings or whenever you want something seasonal without overthinking it.
Ingredients
- 2 Oz espresso (or 1 strong coffee concentrate)
- 6 Oz eggnog
- 2–3 Oz Milk (whole or oat; optional for thinning the nog)
- Nutmeg for dusting
Instructions
- Pull your espresso (1–2 shots) or brew 3–4 oz strong coffee.
- Warm the eggnog gently in a saucepan—low heat only.
- Froth the nog lightly. You’re not looking for microfoam; just some lift.
- Combine espresso + nog, then top with a little more warmed eggnog.
- Finish with nutmeg or a pinch of cinnamon.
Notes
Variations to Try (Spice It Up)
- Iced Eggnog Latte – Shake espresso with cold eggnog and pour over ice.
- Brown Sugar Eggnog Latte – Add 1 tsp brown sugar to deepen sweetness.
- Maple Eggnog Latte – A splash of maple syrup keeps things earthy.
- Dirty Nog Chai – Combine chai concentrate + espresso + eggnog.
- Dairy-Free Version – Use dairy-free nog; they steam faster, so watch the heat.
- Extra-Spiced Version – Add clove, nutmeg, or a cinnamon stick during warming.
