Method
- Place a small saucepan over a low heat. Add the milk, cream, spices and vanilla essence. Heat gently for 2 mins until steaming, not boiling.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar for about 1 min until frothy and the sugar has dissolved. Add the gingerbread liqueur and the whisky.
- When the milk is steaming hot, pour it into the egg mix, stirring all the time. Transfer back to the warm pan for 1 min, stirring.
- Divide into 4 latte glasses. Garnish with a dusting of nutmeg and a gingerbread man, if you like.
Tip: This cocktail can also be served cold, or get ahead by making the night before and warming gently before serving - the mixture keeps for a couple of days in the fridge.
