Instructions

  1. Brew the coffee in the moka pot and take it off the heat when it starts to sputter.
  2. In a small saucepan, warm the eggnog and milk over low heat, stirring, until steamy. Do not let it boil, since eggnog can curdle.
  3. Whisk the warm eggnog for about 15 seconds to make a little foam, then stir in the nutmeg and maple syrup if you use it.
  4. Pour the coffee into a mug, add the eggnog and dust with a little nutmeg.

Tip: eggnog is already sweet, so taste before adding any syrup. Use pasteurized eggnog from the refrigerated section, and warm it gently.
