Barista Style Gingerbread Coffee

While many of us love to head to our favorite coffee shop to get our holiday fix, sometimes we just don't have the time (or money). This gingerbread coffee recipe can be brewed in your coffee pot and prepared ahead of time to enjoy your drink later. In addition, the recipe for this delicious beverage requires common ingredients already in your pantry.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp molasses
  • 6 cups brewed coffee
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mix together ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and molasses in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth. Adding baking soda is another great idea to lower the acidity of coffee.
  • Pour about a quarter cup of hot brewed coffee into six cups.
  • Take a tablespoon of the ground mixture from step 1 and stir it into each coffee cup until they dissolve completely.
  • After stirring the mix, fill the cups about an inch to the brim with more hot coffee.
  • Add the half-and-half and stir it into the coffee.
  • Add some whipped cream and a dust of ground cloves to give your coffee a new twist.

Notes

  • Each serving with whipped cream and half-and-half is about 110 calories.
  • Don't forget the gingerbread man for the ultimate holiday coffee :-)
