Ingredients

Eggnog:

  • 4 ounces eggnog Homemade or store-bought
  • 4 ounces brewed espresso (more or less as desired)
  • ½ cup whole or 2% milk (not skim)
  • Optional garnish- freshly grated nutmeg, ground cinnamon, whipped cream

Instructions

  • Tip: Eggnog (especially homemade eggnog) has the potential to turn to scrambled eggs during this step. Follow the directions carefully and do not over-heat the eggnog!
    Stovetop method:
    Warm eggnog on medium-low in a small pot, testing often, and removing from heat as soon as eggnog is warm but not hot
    Use a steam wand on a pump-powered espresso maker:
    Heat the eggnog for approximately 10 seconds.  While warming, hold your hand underneath the milk frothing container, and stop frothing as SOON as the container feels warm.  
    Do not attempt to use the frothing wand on a steam-powered espresso maker, because the steam is too hot and the eggs will scramble.
  • Divide eggnog between two large mugs.
    Next, brew espresso and steam milk.
    If you don't have a milk steamer, heat milk on stovetop and use a hand-held frother or immersion blender to create some froth (froth optional).
  • Pour half the espresso in each cup, and then stir to help blend the eggnog and espresso. Pour milk into each espresso, holding back the froth with a spoon. Top with foam.
    Optionally, top with whipped cream and dust with nutmeg or cinnamon.
    Serve immediately.
