Slow Cooker Gingerbread Lattes
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 5 minutes
Servings: 10
Ingredients:
7 cups whole milk
¼ cup molasses
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
2 cinnamon sticks
¼ tsp. ground cloves
3 cups strong coffee or espresso
Directions:
Add all ingredients to the slow cooker and whisk until the molasses is fully incorporated and the sugar has dissolved.
Cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking. (do not cook on HIGH, we don’t want the latte to boil as it can burn the sugars)
Turn the slow cooker to WARM and serve with frothed milk or whipped cream and caramel sauce. Garnish with a gingerbread cookie. Enjoy!
Notes:
To make the gingerbread rim on the glass, dip the top of the glass into honey or maple syrup and press into crushed gingerbread cookies.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight glass container, such as a mason jar, for up to 5 days.
Stir before reheating, reheat on the stove top on medium-low heat or in the microwave.
2 Tbsp of Allspice can be used in place of the spices and cinnamon sticks.
The whole milk can be replaced with any non-dairy milk of your choice or even half and half.
The molasses can be replaced with honey or maple syrup.
