Eggnog Latte (Starbucks Copycat)

Savor the holiday spirit in every sip with this easy Eggnog Latte – a blend of rich espresso and velvety eggnog that’s better than Starbucks eggnog latte. No espresso machine is needed.

Cozy holiday drinks such as a Caramel Latte, Maple Latte, or even a Pumpkin Spice Latte are some of my favorite to make at home. They’re just as delicious as a cafe version and often better!

How to Make an Eggnog Latte

1. Prepare the espresso or coffee: Prepare your espresso or coffee. Use an espresso machine for an authentic flavor, or choose Nespresso for convenience without compromising taste. For a robust, full-bodied experience, opt for a dark roast brewed in a French Press. When pressed for time, instant espresso is a quick and convenient substitute.
2. Steam the milk: Add the eggnog and milk to a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally until just before it boils. Then use a frother or a whisk to create a frothy top. You can also use a milk frother.

3. Add the milk: Pour the steamed milk and eggnog mixture over the espresso.
4. Garnish: To finish your latte top it off with some whipped cream such as Homemade Whipped Cream or Cinnamon Whipped Cream. Then grate some nutmeg on top or sprinkle on a nutmeg substitute.
