Ingredients
4 oz eggnog
2 oz hot fresh Espresso
whipped cream
cinnamon or nutmeg
sugar or sucanat
Optional: 1/2 oz sambuca
1/2 oz advocaat (egg liqueur)
Cups
for Cocoa
Cozy up to these charming hot chocolate mugs
from Rosanna Bowles. With "hot chocolate" written
seemingly of chocolate syrup across the ceramic in French,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and English, these mugs are
perfect for every cup of cocoa or warm drink. Set of four.
Sucanat is basically dehydrated sugar cane with little to no processing,
making it an excellent source of iron, calcium, vitamin
B6, potassium and chromium, which helps balance blood sugar.
Malitol is
a bit more expensive, but is a little less sweet than actual
sugar. What's nice about Sucanat is you can use in a 1:1
ratio wherever you'd use sugar. You can get more info about
using nutritious, natural sweetener substitutes for your
holiday baking here.
