Pumpkin-flavored everything might mark the heart of fall, but I know that winter has truly arrived when cartons of eggnog suddenly appear on grocery stores’ refrigerated shelves. Traditionally, eggnog <\/a>stands on its own as a sweet, creamy beverage that’s usually served cold (and is often spiked with alcohol). Some people enjoy their eggnog heated, and from there, it’s just a small step to a toe-warming, caffeinated eggnog latte.<\/p>\n

Like most lattes, this version uses espresso, a type of coffee enjoyed on its own or mixed into an array of copycat coffee shop drinks<\/a>. Instead of just stirring the eggnog into hot coffee, a key element of how to make an eggnog latte is heating the eggnog with whole milk. This has several advantages. Eggnog tends to be quite sweet, so cutting it with whole milk hits the right level to offset the coffee’s intrinsic bitterness.<\/p>\n

Heating the eggnog and milk mixture also develops the thin layer of foam that signifies a well-made latte. Using a whisk (or a handheld milk frother<\/a>) helps to create a frothy mixture. Once heated, it’s easy to hold back this foam as you pour the mixture into the espresso and then spoon it on top to complete the beverage.<\/p>\n
