I love making creative seasonal pancakes for my kids. I saw recipes for chai tea pancakes so I wanted to see if we could make pancakes using our eggnog tea to give the eggnog flavor without all of the extra fat and calories. To top it off I wanted to make some eggnog clotted cream (fat and calories back in, LOL). Clotted cream is fabulous on pancakes, bagels, and muffins as well as scones. I couldn’t find any eggnog clotted cream recipes so I made up my own. The result? My kids said that we should put it in our family recipes and make them every year. They were delicious.
As a company we love coming up with creative ideas for coffee, tea, wine, beer, etc. So we wanted to share our recipe with you.
Eggnog Tea Pancakes
Ingredients
- 6 tsp of Eggnog Tea https://somscafe.com/product/egg-nog-black-tea/
- 1/2 cup Ice
- 1/3 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 Egg
- 2.5 cups complete pancake mix of choice
- 2 Tbsp Eggnog
Directions
- Brew Eggnog Tea concentrate. To see more detailed instructions see our post on how to brew a proper cup of tea https://somscafe.com/how-to-make-delicious-cafe-quality-tea-from-home/ . Here is the summary. Bring your filtered water to a full boil. Warm up your cup. Put 6tsp of Eggnog Tea in 8oz. of water. Cover the cup with a saucer and let it steep for 4-5 minutes. Once it has steeped, squeeze the tea leaves to extract the flavor in the leaves.
- Once the tea has brewed add @1/2 cup of ice to cool the tea down and prevent it from cooking the egg.
- Use the tea base as your water for complete pancake mix and follow the directions on the box. We used 2.5 cups of pancake mix for our family with three boys.
- Add 1/3tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the mix. I also recommend adding 1 egg.
- Add approximately 2tbsp eggnog to consistency preference for pancakes.
- Cook pancakes according to directions on the pancake mix box.
