  7. Optional Additions:

    • If you have a sweet tooth, you can add a little sugar or sweetener to taste. Additionally, you might want to consider topping your eggnog latte with whipped cream for an indulgent treat.

  8. Enjoy:

    • Sip and enjoy your homemade Eggnog Latte! It's a cozy and flavorful drink perfect for the holiday season.

Feel free to adjust the ingredient ratios to suit your taste preferences. You can also experiment with different variations, such as adding a touch of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Happy holidays!
