KEURIG WINTER SPICE LATTE
Ingredients:
1 k-cup of your choice (or 1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of each: ground cloves, nutmeg, and orange zest
1 teaspoon brown sugar
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine milk, spices and brown sugar. Whisk vigorously to make the froth and heat the mixture on medium-high until it is steaming and fragrant, whisking occasionally.
Brew 1 k-cup at the smallest cup setting (4 oz, or 6 oz if you don’t have this option) and slowly pour milk mixture over the coffee. Taste and add/ adjust seasonings or sugar if needed.
Makes 1 serving.
Choose the perfect k-cup: While just about any k-cup will work for this recipe, I suggest using medium or dark roasted k-cup.
Don’t be afraid to substitute: Feel free to tweak the seasonings as you’d like – you can add ginger, allspice or star anise. To make this vegan/ dairy-free, replace regular milk with your favorite dairy-free milk option, like almond or coconut milk. If using dairy-free milk, slowly heat the milk over low-medium heat and don’t heat it too much.
Keurig K-cafe: If you have Keurig K-Cafe model, pour cold milk into the frother, add spices and press Latte option. Brew one k-cup using a Shot button, add sugar and slowly add frothed milk while stirring.
Happiest holidays and Merry Christmas to all of you!
