Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 5 cups strong brewed coffee
- 3 cups eggnog
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients & Spices
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the brewed coffee, eggnog, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract into a 2.5 to 4-quart crockpot. This will create the base for your eggnog latte.
- Cook Gently: Set the crockpot to LOW and cook the mixture for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir occasionally during this time to ensure the sugar dissolves and the spices distribute evenly, allowing the drink to heat thoroughly without curdling the milk or eggnog.
- Keep Warm: Once the latte is hot and well blended, reduce the crockpot setting to WARM. This will maintain the perfect serving temperature throughout your gathering without further cooking.
- Serve: Ladle the hot eggnog latte into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired for an extra creamy, festive touch.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute eggnog and milk with almond or oat milk-based alternatives and use a suitable sugar substitute.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the milk and eggnog from separating or curdling.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings if your crockpot size allows.
- For a boozy version, add a splash of bourbon or rum before serving.
