Sips & Tips
Technique
The batter can be made in advance and refrigerated. Warm your mug first with hot water — a cold mug drops the temperature too fast. The milk should be hot but not boiling.
Balance
The egg batter gives this drink its signature creamy, frothy texture. Don't skimp on the nutmeg — freshly grated makes a huge difference over pre-ground.
