Eggnog Latte, this is one of my favorite holiday drinks! I love the fact that it can be enjoyed either hot or cold!
I do like eggnog quite a bit, but I never really thought twice about the Eggnog Latte at Starbucks until they were discontinued last year. Obviously since I couldn’t get one they were suddenly my favorite drink that I couldn’t live without, right?
This drink is especially nice since you can enjoy it hot or cold. If you like it hot steam the eggnog until it reaches your preferred temp. If you like it cold, pour it over ice instead!
I also love making drinks at home since I can control the ingredients. If you can’t use any of the ingredients listed here, feel free to make substitutions. Oat milk is my favorite alternative to dairy milk because it’s rich and creamy. Cashew milk is also a very good alternative. Also if you don’t want the sugar then feel free to substitute it for maple syrup instead!
