Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 inch (peeled and thinly sliced) fresh ginger
- 2 cups (brewed) dark-roast coffee
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.5 cup (optional, for creaminess) milk
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) whipped cream
- 0.25 teaspoons (for garnish, optional) ground ginger
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger.
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh ginger slices, brewed dark-roast coffee, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar and infuse the ginger flavor into the coffee. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Strain the mixture into a serving pot or directly into two mugs using a fine mesh sieve to remove the ginger slices.
If desired, heat the milk in a separate saucepan or microwave until warm, then froth using a hand frother or whisk. Add the frothed milk to the coffee for extra creaminess.
Top with whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle a pinch of ground ginger or cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy your warm, spiced Georgia Ginger Coffee!
