Ingredients
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 shot espresso
- 1/2 cup steamed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat Eggnog: Warm the eggnog in a saucepan over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scalding.
- Prepare Espresso: Brew one shot of espresso using your preferred method, such as an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker.
- Combine Eggnog and Espresso: Pour the warm eggnog into a mug and add the freshly brewed espresso, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
- Steam Milk: Steam the milk until frothy and hot, then slowly pour it into the mug with the eggnog and espresso mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle ground nutmeg over the top for a fragrant finish, and add whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence.
Notes
- You can use a milk frother to steam the milk if you do not have an espresso machine with a steaming wand.
- Adjust the amount of nutmeg according to your taste preference.
- For a non-dairy version, substitute eggnog and milk with their plant-based alternatives.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and temperature.
- Use high-quality espresso for a stronger and richer coffee flavor.
