Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (I used soy )
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch ground clove
- 4 shots espresso (or 1 cup of strong brewed coffee)
- Whipped cream (I used Reddiwhip Almond Milk)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the milk, brown sugar, molasses, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground clove. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer until it’s steaming hot. Remove from the heat and divide between two cups.
- Add your coffee to the cups and mix it together with the milk mixture. I poured 2 shots of espresso into both cups. If you’re doing a different brew method, add as much coffee as you please.
- Top it off with some whipped cream and dust a bit of cinnamon over the top. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any milk you prefer, since this is a vegan blog I used a dairy-free option. Any milk will work for this recipe!
