What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (adjust to your liking)
- Small saucepan
- Community Coffee Christmas Blend
- Handheld milk frother
- Small mixing bowl (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional garnish)
Step 1: Heat
Add milk, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla syrup to a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently to combine.
Step 2: Brew
While the milk mixture heats up, brew our Christmas Blend coffee using your hot-brew method of choice.
Step 3: Froth
After about 3–4 minutes (or once the milk’s temperature reaches 150°F), take the pan off heat. Use a handheld milk frother and froth for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then set aside. You can froth directly in the saucepan or in a small mixing bowl, if desired.
Step 4: Combine & Enjoy
Combine a 1:1 ratio of freshly brewed Christmas Blend coffee and your milk mixture (we recommend 1 cup of each). Garnish with leftover spices and whipped cream as desired, and enjoy!
