For an Iced Eggnog Latte
- Brew the coffee or prepare 2 to 3 ounces of espresso. Let it cool, then stir in the brown sugar and vanilla until the sugar dissolves.1 cup strong brewed coffee, 1 to 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Stir together the cold eggnog, milk, and nutmeg.½ cup eggnog, ½ cup whole milk, ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Fill a large glass with ice. Pour the coffee mixture over the ice, then add the eggnog mixture.

Notes
- This latte is creamy and lightly sweet. Start with less brown sugar, then add more after tasting if needed.
If you opt for espresso, use only 2 to 3 ounces so the coffee does not overpower the eggnog. - Cold brew works well in place of brewed coffee or espresso for the iced version.
- Either store-bought or homemade eggnog works.
- If you don’t have a milk frother, use an immersion blender or whisk the warm mixture until lightly foamy.
- Looking for the previous version of this latte with only 3 ingredients? That eggnog recipe has been retired.
