Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups whole milk

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine water, brown sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over medium heat.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, whisking occasionally.
  4. Brew your espresso or strong coffee and divide between two mugs.
  5. Add 2-3 tablespoons of gingerbread syrup to each mug, then pour in the steamed milk.
  6. Top with whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately.
