Ode to the Eggnog Latte

[TitianWasp]

The second week of November
Chill breezes whip the ground
But I notice not the breezes for
The eggnog latte returns to town

This creamy mead of Starbucks fame
With nutmeg dust atop its foam
The melodious blast of the frother's hiss
Heralds that I am come home

Embrace the silky, caffeine bite
That warms you deep within
And lifts my autumn spirits like
No other legal sin

The taste of eggnog, rich and sweet
Evokes every Christmas tree
But alas, my love, we'll no longer meet
Until you come sugar-free...

Do they still make it? Where can I get it? I've got the espresso machine at home, so we have the technology (we can make it better!), but I need the ingredients. Please advise, and thanks!

I am so happy to see this!! I LOVE eggnog,my fave about the holidays! its going to be hard to stay away,this will make it easier!

I figure, eggnog syrup, with heavy cream in the frother and then added to the coffee...except I am off of coffee for my (SUCCESSFUL!!!) Slow Losers Challenge.. Maybe lattes are an exception! They really are more of a dessert than a coffee, and I could make it with decaf. Maybe with a slice of low carb cheesecake? Ok, I'd better stop now.

That was great, tried to gie you some rep but

"You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TitianWasp again."

sigh. Thanks for the post though, made me smile =)

Ha ha -thank you so much Grant. I am not looking at a raise or promotion any time soon (I am a contractor - the job is what it is), but getting the kudos from the board really kinda makes my day. Hence my apparent ubiquitous presence here.

Have a great weekend.
