Notes
- Instead of regular ice cubes, I prefer to freeze coffee and use those ice cubes to prevent watering down the drink and for more coffee.
- A Keurig coffee machine comes in handy in this recipe; however, a Moka pot would be just as effective if you don't have one.
- I prefer to add vanilla extract to my drink for a more potent taste and thicker consistency; however, it is optional.
- Being the sweet tooth that I am, I drizzle caramel sauce on top of my drink to make it sweeter; it is, however, optional, and you can skip it or swap it for anything that suits your fancy.
- To reduce the calories, you can make whipped cream from scratch. This way, you will control the amount of sugar it has. I prefer to use the store-bought one.
- If you are vegan or lactose intolerant, you can choose plant-based milk like coconut, almond, butter, and soy. Additionally, you can buy nog from your local stores without the egg. This will, however, alter the taste of the entire drink.
- I prefer to use the eggnog from the hood as it has that yellow hue; however, any other would work just the same.
- You can opt to skip the whipped cream for a healthier option.
- Before blending the ingredients, make sure you wait until your brewed coffee cools off.
