Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso (about 60ml)
  • 120ml (½ cup) full-fat eggnog
  • 60ml (¼ cup) whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla syrup
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Brew 2 espresso shots (about 60ml) directly into a 350ml serving mug.
  2. Combine the 120ml eggnog and 60ml whole milk in a steaming pitcher and steam to 60°C to 65°C (140°F to 150°F), about 20 to 30 seconds; if no wand, heat in a saucepan over medium-low for 2 to 3 minutes then froth with a handheld frother.
  3. Stir the 1 tsp vanilla syrup into the hot espresso until dissolved.
  4. Pour the steamed eggnog mixture over the espresso, letting the foam settle on top, then dust with the ¼ tsp nutmeg and pinch of cinnamon and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is best made to order since the foam starts to flatten after a few minutes. If you want to prep ahead for guests, keep the espresso shots warm in a thermos for up to 20 minutes. The nutmeg topping goes on right before serving, not before, or it sinks into the foam.
