This, admittedly, is a little longer than you’d have to wait at a café, but it’s so delicious that it’s definitely worth that extra little bit of time and effort.

Ingredients:

4 shots espresso or 250ml of strong brew coffee
150ml milk
25g sugar (plus optional sugar to taste)
2 egg yolks
40ml water
50ml liqueur such as Brandy or Baileys Irish Cream (optional)
200g condensed milk
Whipped cream
Grated nutmeg

Method:

Start by making the eggnog, by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan, and letting it simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Then, put it to one side to cool.
Beat the egg yolks until smooth, and then add in the vanilla extract, liqueur, condensed milk and cooled sugar syrup. Mix well and pour into a jug, and then chill before starting on your homemade latte.
Make the latte by pouring two shots of espresso or half of your strong brew coffee into each coffee mug.
Combine the eggnog and milk in a pan and heat until steaming. Or, if you have an espresso machine, you can steam the eggnog and milk mixture until it is hot and frothy. Then, add the mixture into your coffee mugs.
Finally, top the coffees with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg, and there you have it! Two warm, delicious eggnog lattes, made from the comfort of your home.
