Crock Pot Eggnog Lattes | Kitchen Treaty

Posted on Thursday, December 13, 2012 in Beverages

I guess there?s no hiding it. I?m pretty much obsessed with hot drinks made in the Crock Pot.

I can?t help myself. They?re so wonderfully hands-off, especially when it comes to this recipe. Pour all the ingredients in, give ?em a stir, wait a couple of hours. Then turn your Crock Pot to low and enjoy wonderful hot drink after hot drink all day long if you want. All day! For a heckuva lot less than it costs for the same thing at Starbucks! Yay Crock Pot!

Sorry. I?m a little caffeinated. Because Crock Pot eggnog lattes? Yeah, they?re really, really addictingly delicious. Super rich, creamy, full of warming nutmeg and vanilla ? (and coffee! Yay coffee!)

Thank goodness eggnog is only a December affair.

No whipped cream on these; I think they?re plenty rich without. But if you want to sneak some on top, I won?t stop you. In fact, I?ll cheer you on.

By the way, I stopped in at Starbucks to grab one of their eggnog lattes at the same time I was testing this recipe. Quality comparisons, it?s what I?m all about. This Crock Pot version is spot-on except the lattes are just a tad sweeter thanks to the 1/4 cup sugar I?ve added. If you like your lattes less sweet, consider reducing the sugar or leaving it out altogether.

Unrelated to this recipe specifically, I feel the need to point out that I?ve given in and started using ?Crock Pot? in recipe titles instead of ?Slow Cooker.? I know some slow cookers aren?t Crock Pots and I feel like I ?slow cooker? is more ? technically accurate (which is why I?ve been using that term instead of ?Crock Pot? in the title). But you know what? Everyone calls it a Crock Pots! So I?m going to go with it. I?m rebelling against myself! Viva la ? cooking things slow and using whatever words you want to describe them, self!

(Ahem. Less caffeine, maybe?)
