    German Eggnog Heisse Oma

    This hot German Eggnog is called "Heisse Oma" (hot grandma) and is a popular Eierlikör drink at Christmas markets where it is often also called "Schneewittchen" which is the German name for snow white. If you've ever been skiing in Germany or Austria, you're sure to know this classic German style eggnog from the ski lodges. In ski resorts, it's often called Loipenmilch.

    Ski lodge in Austria

    Unfortunately, this winter we many of us don´t have the opportunity to enjoy a hot drink in the comfort of the ski lodge terraces or the Christmas market, but that doesn't mean we can't make our winter drink favorites at home.

    Ingredients

    Eierlikör

    The drink is made with egg liqueur, which can be found in well-stocked liquor stores and supermarkets or online. Alternatively, you can make the drink with Baileys, which is also very tasty. In ski lodges, this version is then called Heisser Opa.

    Eierlikör Hot Drink

    It is very easy to make Eierlikör aka egg liqueur at home. You can find a recipe with step-by-step video tutorial here on the website. Eierlikör recipe

    Milk

    The hot drink tastes best with whole milk. It also tastes good with reduced-fat milk, but the consistency is not as creamy. If you want it even creamier, you can even use cream or half and half. Of course, this is a bit of a calorie bomb. But who counts calories at Christmas time.
