Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- optional (as desired) whipped cream
- optional (as desired) ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or pour-over). Keep it warm.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
Whisk the mixture constantly to dissolve the sugar and evenly distribute the spices. Heat until the milk is steaming but not boiling, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the brewed coffee into two mugs, dividing it evenly.
Slowly pour the spiced milk mixture into each mug, stirring gently to combine.
Top each mug with whipped cream, if desired.
Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or grated nutmeg on top for a festive finishing touch, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, holiday flavors by the fireside!
