Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed coffee
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- optional (for topping) whipped cream
- optional ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine depending on your preference.
In a small saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg over medium heat.
Whisk the mixture gently until the sugar dissolves and the milk is heated through, but do not let it boil. This should take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the brewed coffee to the saucepan. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice levels if desired.
Pour the Holiday Coffee into mugs or heatproof glasses.
If desired, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra festive touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
