gingerbread coffee
I found this recipe on the Fred Meyer website, but it was portioned for a large crowd. That didn't work well for me because no one else in my household likes flavored coffee. Therefore, so much of it went to waste. So I made several trials to reduce it to a single portion, and I came up with this recipe. It's quite good and tastes like a Gingerbread Cookie in a cup.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsulphered molasses (it offers the best flavor over sulphered molasses)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup - hot coffee (strong brew is best)
- 1 tablespoon half & half or light cream
- 2 tablespoons sweetened whipped cream (from a can)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (or try my favorite, using half cloves and half nutmeg)
How To Make gingerbread coffee
-
Step 1In a hot beverage mug, mix together the molasses, brown sugar, and ginger.
-
Step 2Add hot coffee (to reach about 3/4 inch from the top), and stir well to dissolve the molasses and sugar. Stir in the half & half (or cream).
-
Step 3Top with a generous mound of whipped cream (I used canned, for convenience). Then sprinkle a light dusting of cloves on the whipped cream. Serve immediately while still piping hot.
