Ingredients notes
Eggnog – ensure it’s well-chilled if you’re making the iced eggnog latte or warm it for the hot version. Espresso – you can either use instant coffee to prepare a strong coffee or use a coffee machine Milk – I have used whole milk which froths well but you can use skimmed or semi-skimmed too. Half and half can work but you will have an extra thick latte. Spices – Ground cinnamon or nutmeg for decorating. Optional whipped cream for topping. If you want to make yours sweeter, stir in brown sugar or regular white granulated sugar.
Vegan Eggnog Latte
Making a vegan version of the eggnog latte is a breeze! Replace traditional eggnog with a plant-based alternative, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk-based nog. These options retain the creamy texture and festive flavours without dairy or eggs. For frothy milk, barista-style oat milk is good for foam, while almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavour. Follow the same steps as the original recipe to made a vegan latte everyone can enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your eggnog latte in your favourite mug and spoon over frothy milk generously. Accompany it with a cinnamon stick for stirring, sprinkle over nutmeg or cinnamon, and pair it with Christmas cookies, like gingerbread or shortbread, for a holiday-perfect snack.
Storage Tips
While the latte is best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftover eggnog in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you’ve pre-brewed coffee for the chilled version, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Always froth the milk and assemble the latte just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
