I think my patience is at the bottom of this coffee cup. Hang on while I find it.” ~ Unknown
I don’t usually let my toddler nap in his high chair, but when I do it’s because his stuffy nose has kept my husband and I up for two straight nights and goodness someone around here needs to sleep . . . even if that means hauling my blender into the bedroom to make my morning coffee without waking him.
Since my home is all about salt dough ornaments, gingerbread cookies, holiday stovetop potpourri, right now, I thought it would be fun to come up with a recipe for patience – er, coffee – that carries on the festive mood. This latte is based on my homemade eggnog recipe, but I’ve tweaked things a bit to help the flavor blend better with coffee.
Eggnog Latte Recipe
Servings 1 large latte
Calories
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cream or milk
- ½ cup strongly brewed coffee or espresso
- 4-6 egg yolks (raw or pasteurized – see my eggnog recipe for more info on raw vs. pasteurized eggs)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup – or more to taste
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract (how to make vanilla extract)
- ½ tsp nutmeg (plus more for sprinkling)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp gelatin hydrolysate (optional)
- whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients (except optional whipped cream and sweetener) together. I place mine in a tall jar and mix with an immersion blender.
- This drink can be served chilled or warm. (I typically warm mine up and drink it right away.)
- Top with whipped cream if desired.

Is this a recipe for one serving? Sounds yummy!!!
It’s up to you. Though it certainly makes enough to split into two servings, each one would only contain 1/4 cup coffee. I typically double this batch for Daniel when I make it. (Which is about once a week during the holiday season.)
I thought I was the only closet blender user!
Looks yummy! Thanks! * And I love that you moved your blender to another room! We’ve done that too!!! (and kettles…) 😀
So I’m not the only crazy mom who moves small appliances around the house so as to extend nap times even just like 5 more minutes puhleeeeze…..
I so enjoy your recipes & ideas ❤️ It’s a highlight of my day to read your posts
Thank You & May
God bless you & your family 🙏
6 egg yolks in one cup of latte? Truely? It seems so yolky, I will make the recipe to try it, but are you sure 4-6 egg yolks? I trust you and am hoping this is a typo. Happy Winter Solstice on the 21st and thank you 🙂
