Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup strong brewed coffee or two shots of espresso
- 1 cup milk of choice (regular, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- Ground cinnamon or nutmeg (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Brew the coffee: Prepare your coffee or espresso as you normally would. Aim for about ½ cup of strong coffee or two shots of espresso.
- Warm the milk: In a small saucepan, combine your milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the milk is hot but not boiling.
- Froth the milk: Use a frother or whisk to create a creamy foam. If you’re using a jar, pour the warm milk into it, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
- Combine the coffee and milk: Pour the brewed coffee into your mug, then slowly add the spiced milk. Use a spoon to hold back the foam, then pile it on top for a luxurious finish.
- Garnish: Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, and a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
