in 4 easy steps

1. prepare the espresso

Start by extracting a hot, rich, full-bodied espresso from your favorite coffee machine. The coffee will serve as a base and balance the sweetness of the white chocolate.

1. grind the coffee: Use approximately 20g of freshly ground coffee for optimal extraction.

2. machine preparation: Preheat your espresso machine. Make sure the portafilter is clean and preheated to avoid thermal shock during extraction.

3. Coffee tamping: Place the ground coffee into the portafilter and tamp it evenly with firm, consistent pressure. This will ensure an even extraction.

4. extraction: Insert the portafilter into the espresso machine and start the extraction. You want to get about 30-40 ml of espresso in 25-30 seconds. The result should be a rich espresso, with a golden crema.

2. Heat your milk mixture

Mix 200 g of eggnog and 60 g of whole milk (3.25%) in a pitcher. Heat to an optimal temperature (around 60-65 °C) without reaching boiling. This ensures a creamy foam and preserves the spicy aromas

3. Assemble your latte

In a beautiful cup, pour your hot espresso. Slowly add the frothed milk mixture, tilting the cup slightly to create a harmonious visual.

4. Add a festive touch

For a warm and delicious effect, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on the mousse.
