Side Note: I realize that this post is just for people who have an espresso maker, but I really love my morning latte and especially this eggnog latte, so I decided to share this recipe with you. This is how I make my latte with my Krups espresso maker. Other espresso makers’ instructions may differ.
Pour ½ cup of milk into a coffee cup; add 1-2 tbsp of eggnog, more if desired.
Fill your espresso maker filter holder with ground espresso and pack it firmly.
Place the filter holder into the machine and lock it in place.
Fill the frothing pitcher with water, pour it into the machine, and replace the lid.
Turn the machine to the espresso setting to begin brewing espresso.
Once brewing begins and espresso has started dripping into the metal carafe, flip the knob to the steaming setting.
Steam the milk, gently moving the coffee mug up and down (to heat the milk through) and allowing the tip of the steam wand to rise just above the milk to get a nice froth. Finish the steaming process once you have a nice froth and the milk is hot.
Turn the knob back to the espresso setting and let the remaining espresso drip into the carafe.
Flip back to the steaming setting to release all of the pressure from the steamer.
Carefully pour the espresso into the steamed & frothy milk, to taste
Sprinkle the top of the foam with a cinnamon and sugar mixture, to taste – I like to cover all of the foam, while my husband likes just a touch.
Drink up and enjoy.
