Egg Nog Latte Recipe

 

Due to popular demand, I have sought the fabled "Starbucks® Eggnog Latte" recipe!  Seasonally, Starbucks locations worldwide share their holiday cheer by offering Egg nog Latte, and fans just can't get enough! Try the recipe below to create this festive drink at home. Perfect on a cold, winter morning or for celebrating with family.

Note: You will need an espresso machine with a steaming nozzle to create this drink.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup eggnog (store bought is what THEY use)
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• Starbucks® Espresso Roast coffee (ground)
• Pinch of ground nutmeg

How to make Starbucks EggNog Latte

Combine cold eggnog with cold whole milk. Cold non-fat milk or soymilk can be substituted for the whole milk.

Using the steaming wand on your espresso machine, steam the eggnog/milk mixture until the temperature reaches 145°F. Set aside.
Eggnog heats and scalds faster than milk, so watch the thermometer closely.

Tamp ground espresso into the filter. Pull a shot of espresso and pour it into the serving mug.

Fill mug with steamed eggnog and milk. Top the drink with 1/4"  foamed eggnog/milk mixture to the rim of the mug.

Garnish with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg.
