Non-Dairy Eggnog Latte

I'm really a tea girl and I actually NEVER drink coffee (except for when I was addicted to iced coffee for two weeks two years ago),  but Nestle Coffee Mate's large selection of holiday creamers really got me thinking that I could be missing out. I was on the lookout for dairy free egg nog but Soy Nog tastes disgusting to me. I like the package so I want it to taste good, but it always lets me down. Instead, I purchased the Coffee-Mate's Eggnog Latte Flavor Coffee Creamer (which is dairy free). I may never use this. I don't know if it would be gross to put in tea but I found a recipe on their website for an Eggnog latte, which easily could be adapted to a dairy free version if you add a dairy free milk. 

Eggnog Latte

Yield: 1

Ingredients:

1/2 cup milk (You can use soy or almond if you prefer)

1/3 cup double-strength hot brewed coffee (Not sure what this means)

3 tablespoons Eggnog Latte Flavor NESTLÉ COFFEE-MATE Liquid Coffee Creamer 

Ground nutmeg 

Instructions:

PLACE milk in small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly to create foam, until milk is hot. Using large spoon to hold back foam, pour milk into a mug. Stir in coffee and Coffee-mate. Top with foam and sprinkle of nutmeg.

I'm thinking this latte is either REALLY good or REALLY disgusting. I hope someone else tries it out for me and lets me know. :)

This post was almost complete until I JUST found this website (cocktailswithmom.com which might be the coolest website ever. Wish I could follow them on twitter.) with these amazing cocktails made using holiday coffee creamers. I'm definitely thinking about how bad I wish I had bought the Gingerbread creamer instead so I could make that Gingerbread Martini (Too soon??).
