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!

Ingredients

· 2 tbsp. granulated sugar

· ? cup milk

· ? cup eggnog

· ½ cup prepared unflavored coffee at double concentration (or 2 shots espresso)

· pinch of ground nutmeg, optional (but oh so tasty)

Instructions

1. 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.

2. Pour the milk, eggnog and sugar into a microwave-safe jar or cup. I use the mixing cup that came with my stick blender.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Repeat these two steps (shaking and then heating) a second time until the milk is nice and frothy.

6. 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.

This is one of our favorites, and I prefer the basil, but it works with almost any herb of choice:

My Linguini with Herbed Shrimp

1/2 lb linguini or spaghetti
3 T butter
3 T olive oil
1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/3 c freshly grated imported Parmesan cheese
1/4 c finely chopped fresh oregano, thyme, basil and/or
parsley
salt/freshly ground black pepper to taste

Boil and drain pasta 8-9 minutes. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil; add shrimp and garlic; cook until shrimp turn opaque or pink. Turn and cook the second side. Combine the hot cooked pasta, shrimp mixture, parmesan and herbs. Add salt and pepper. May be made ahead and repeated. Serves 2 as a main course, 4-6 as a starter.

next ingredient: prime rib
