Ingredients
  

For the Gingerbread Syrup

  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup water

For the Coffee

  • 2 cups freshly brewed coffee
  • ¼ cup whole milk (or milk alternative)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Make the Gingerbread Syrup
    In a small saucepan, combine molasses, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.
    Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Step 2: Brew the Coffee
    While the syrup cools slightly, brew your favorite coffee. A dark roast works best for a bold flavor.
  • Step 3: Froth the Milk
    Heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until warm. Use a frother or whisk to create foam.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Coffee
    Divide the brewed coffee between two mugs. Add 2-3 tablespoons of gingerbread syrup to each mug, adjusting to taste.
    Top with frothed milk, whipped cream (optional), and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • Store leftover gingerbread syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less syrup.
