Notes
how to substitute instant coffee with espresso coffee in this eggnog latte recipe?
If you have espresso coffee, you can easily replace the instant coffee with espresso coffee in this recipe. Since we use ¾ cup water and 2 teaspoons of instant coffee powder, just replace the water and instant coffee with ½ cup freshly brewed espresso (about 2 double shots) to make this eggnog latte if you want to make it with espresso coffee! If you have espresso machine at home, you can also make the eggnog latte in the espresso machine and espresso coffee if you prefer it that way!Nutrition
