Can I use non-dairy eggnog for my Eggnog Latte?

Absolutely! There are many delicious non-dairy eggnog options available. Almond, soy, or oat milk eggnog can work quite well in this recipe, maintaining the festive flavor that we love.

How can I make my Eggnog Latte less sweet?

If you prefer a less sweet drink, consider using less eggnog or mixing in unsweetened milk. Adjusting the ratio will help balance the sweetness to your liking.

Can this recipe be made in advance?

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the coffee and eggnog mixture ahead of time and heat it up just before serving. Feel free to store them separately in the fridge.

What can I substitute for milk?

You can use almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or even hemp milk as alternatives. Each will add a different flavor profile that complements the eggnog nicely.

Is there a special way to top the Eggnog Latte?

Yes! Topping your latte with freshly whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon adds delightful flavor and makes for a beautiful presentation.
