- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 shot espresso (about 1 ounce)
- 1/2 cup steamed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the eggnog: Pour 1 cup of eggnog into a saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Prepare espresso: Brew one shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- Combine eggnog and espresso: Pour the warmed eggnog into a mug, then add the freshly brewed espresso and stir gently to combine.
- Steam milk: Steam 1/2 cup of milk until it is hot and frothy; then pour it slowly into the mug, mixing with the eggnog and espresso mixture.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg on top for a warm, spicy aroma. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream for extra richness and garnish.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a creamier texture, or substitute with your preferred milk alternative.
- Adjust the amount of nutmeg according to taste for more or less spice.
- You can use pre-made eggnog or homemade for fresher flavor.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase espresso shots.
- For a cold version, chill the eggnog and espresso and serve over ice with cold steamed or frothed milk.
