Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
