Festive Holiday Special Tea is a latte made with gingerbread tea and eggnog. Taste the flavours of the holidays in one drink!!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE the holidays and all the wonderful unique flavours they bring. Sometimes I just can’t get enough…and this is true with the flavours of this tea latte.
Gingerbread is one of those flavours that I can eat all year round, but when it comes to the holidays, gingerbread brings on a whole new meaning. Cookies, cakes, waffles and lattes are all such wonderful foods that can incorporate the spicy holiday tradition. This Festive Holiday Special Tea incorporates gingerbread tea and eggnog…making a truly divine seasonal classic…and so easy to make at home.
Anyway since I LOVE it SO much I have been busy experimenting all kinds of ways to keep drinking it while I can…it’s a long time before next Christmas! Really seriously if you have never tried it…hurry you won’t want to miss out!!
Festive Holiday Special Tea is my tea latte creation using gingerbread tea and eggnog. Simple, seasonal and oh so yummy. It’s like having a Starbucks in your own home….but better.
Such an easy drink to make. Pick your favourite brand of gingerbread tea. I used Four O’Clock…and make it strong using 2 bags per cup of water (in my case 1 1/4 cups of water). While that is steeping away, bring some eggnog to just under boiling and then froth. I use an aerolatte. Add the hot eggnog to your cup of gingerbread tea, stir and top with the foam. Tada…Festive Holiday Special Tea is ready to enjoy.
Be sure to enjoy some festive flavours this holiday season….and buy LOTS of this incredible eggnog….you will become addicted too!!
For another wonderful festive drink using eggnog try my Rum & Eggnog Latte!!

For years I’ve been a coffee drinker and I still am but I’ve grown to appreciate tea. I love gingerbread tea and I look forward every year when Celestial Seasonings come out with their holiday teas. This special tea sounds fantastic!! I’m in the mood for some right now.

I am terrible at making teas that are more than just a tea bag in hot water. This looks so simple and delicious! Thanks for sharing! I really need to take advantage of January being Tea Month.
Chef G
Well this tea is just a simple bag…so really easy…just heat the eggnog, froth, add to the tea in the cup….and TADA!!

I never liked eggnog before…UNTIL I found this one!!

Ok….that looks delicious. If only there was a non dairy egg nog. Ha ha! Yum.
Chef G
Well that can be switched out if you want….to whatever eggnog you wish.

I love gingerbread anything! Not a huge fan of eggnog but for someone who does like it, this sounds like it would be great for them!!
Chef G
I’m a huge gingerbread fan too….and I never liked eggnog…BUT this brand is divine!!
Lee Anne
Oh my gosh this looks SO tasty!!
Chef G
It IS so tasty!!
Joanie @ Zagleft
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gingerbread Tea. I love the flavor of gingerbread and could eat it year-round, I’ll have to look for this tea.
Chef G
There are several brands that have a gingerbread tea….good luck!!
AiPing | Curious Nut
I’ve honestly never had gingerbread tea nor eggnog before but seeing them combined here makes me want to try both!!! Yum!
Chef G
Hope you do….and love it as much as we do.
Isabelle @ Crumb
Love it! Two of my favourite holiday flavours, together at last. I love tea lattes, but I never though to try with eggnog before… it sounds positively decadent, though.
Chef G
Decadent for sure….these 2 flavours go together so well!!
Teresa
I love gingerbread too but I think I’m a bit too conservative with my tea to try gingerbread and eggnog combo 🙂 But it is very festive and for sure will warm you up!
Chef G
I think you will be amazed at how well these two flavours go together. Go ahead … give it a try!! You have nothing to lose and SO much yumminess to gain!!
Claudia | Gourmet Project
eggnog tea? really? Now I’m going to be obsessed with it until I give it a try 🙂
Chef G
You will be MORE obsessed with it AFTER your try it!!
Sarah and Laura @ Wandercooks
Such a simple recipe – we’ve never tried Gingerbread tea, and especially not with eggnog. Sounds like a tasty combo.
Chef G
Thanks it really does go well together.
Jenn
There is such a thing as gingerbread tea???? Where has this been all my life? I am like you and could eat gingerbread all year long. It’s so good! I can’t believe I’ve never had gingerbread tea before! Time to change that because I still have some Silk Almond Nog in my fridge that needs to be used up. On the hunt for gingerbread tea…..
Chef G
YES…Gingerbread tea. I use Four O’Clock….but if you want loose tea I would try David’s Teas, or Teavana…also Celestial Seasonings Gingerbread Spice. Good luck and ENJOY!!
