Description
A simple recipe for a dairy-free gingerbread flavored coffee drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk (oat or soy recommended)
- 2 tablespoons gingerbread syrup (or 1 tbsp maple syrup + 1/2 tsp ground ginger + 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon + pinch of ground cloves)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegan whipped topping (optional)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brew your coffee strong.
- In a small saucepan, combine the plant milk and gingerbread syrup mixture (if making syrup from scratch). Heat over medium heat until warm, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
- If using pre-made syrup, simply heat the plant milk until warm.
- Pour the hot coffee into your mug.
- Pour the warmed, sweetened plant milk over the coffee.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Top with vegan whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Notes
- To make a quick gingerbread syrup, mix 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves in a small jar and shake well. This makes extra syrup for future drinks.
- Use a frother or whisk to create foam on the milk before adding it to the coffee for a creamier texture.
