Paging DiamondGirly ref Your Question

Back in the 2014-11 Exchange Game Recap, you asked about the measurements in a recipe Zhills posted. I don't know if you ever got your answer, but I just happened to run across her answer in another recipe. Whatever device Zhills uses to post recipes, QVC's software doesn't accept the numeric fraction 1/3 so it shows as a "?". Here's the corrected recipe in case you're still interested.

Eggnog Latte (Better Than Starbucks)

Here's a tasty (better-than-Starbucks!) Eggnog Latte recipe. It's so easy to make a latte at home without an espresso maker!

2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup eggnog
1/2 cup prepared unflavored coffee at double concentration (or 2 shots espresso)
pinch of ground nutmeg, optional (but oh so tasty)

To make the steamed milk, there are 2 methods: (1) Using a Stick Blender or (2) Using a large glass jar with a tight lid.
Pour the milk, eggnog and sugar into a microwave-safe jar or cup. I use the mixing cup that came with my stick blender.
Either using the stick blender or your hands, shake/mix the milk mixture vigorously for 30-45 seconds. Stop when the mixture appears to have doubled in volume due to air bubbles.
Remove the cover, if applicable, and place the mixture into the microwave. Heat on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture starts to bubble up almost to the top of the jar. Take care not to let the milk mixture overflow the jar or to bubble too much and then fall flat.
Repeat these two steps (shaking and then heating) a second time until the milk is nice and frothy.
Pour the hot prepared coffee (or espresso) into the bottom of a deep mug. Holding back the milk foam with a spoon, carefully pour the milk mixture into the coffee. Do not stir. Gently spoon the foam over the top. Sprinkle with some freshly grated (or ground) nutmeg if you wish.
