Eggnog Coffee

INGREDIENTS

60 mls espresso or freshly brewed strong coffee
2 teaspoons sugar
70 mls egg nog

Eggnog
60 mls cream
2 egg yolks
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sugar
Garnish
1 teaspoon brown sugar

METHOD

Eggnog: Whisk the cream and sugar in a small bowl until thick. Add the egg yolks and vanilla, mix well and set aside.

Coffee: In a small jug, mix the coffee and sugar. Pour the coffee into a glass.

Pour on the eggnog so it sits on top of the coffee. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the eggnog and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. You may wish to protect the rim of the glass with foil while caramelising the sugar with the blow torch. Makes 1 drink
