With winter just around the corner, it is time to put our pumpkin spice latte recipe away and pull out our eggnog latte recipes. Eggnog Lattes have always had a special place in my heart. To me, it is the start of the Christmas season. Many times I have shopped for the holidays with my eggnog latte in one hand and piling my cart high with the other. Of course, I used to stop by Starbucks on my way and grab one until I realized that I could make a copycat Starbucks Eggnog Latte even better at home! You will absolutely love this creamy sweet coffee drink made right at home whenever you feel like it. Pair it with one of our eggnog donuts for an extra special treat to enjoy!
How to make an Eggnog Latte at home
- Add eggnog, milk, brown sugar, and nutmeg to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium
low heat, whisking frequently until mixture is hot and starts to steam, about 10 minutes.
Pour into a milk frothing pitcher and blend with a milk frother until it’s foamy.
- While the eggnog mixture is heating up, brew espresso in either an espresso machine or
a stovetop espresso maker.

(make sure to save room for whipped cream, if using). Top with whipped cream and nutmeg.
