Make an Eggnog Latte at Home

The rich, creamy eggnog is perfectly balanced by the bold, robust espresso. The nutmeg adds a touch of warmth and an extra burst of flavor. The overall flavor is sweet, creamy, and festive.

For me, nothing is tastier than a glass of eggnog this time of year. It is a tradition I have always loved since a kid. Growing up, my mom would buy me a half-gallon of golden eggnog and I’d have it all to myself because no one else liked it. Now, everyone in my house adores it plain, or in recipes like this Eggnog Rice Pudding or today’s deliciously frugal Eggnog Latte at home.
