Fall is my favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the mornings are cool and crisp. I love starting these days with a nice hot cup of coffee. I'm a huge ginger fan, especially combined with molasses.
This reminds me of a gingerbread-style beverage I got from a chain restaurant around the holidays. I had mine with cream, because it was what I had on hand, but definitely will be picking up whipped cream for future servings.
Because I'm the only coffee drinker, I froze about half the mixture in 2 teaspoon servings in an ice cube tray. When they were solid, I popped them out and put them into a zip top bag. I'll defrost them for hot coffee use, or I may play around with them in an iced coffee version.
Spiced Ginger Coffee
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 SERVING :
1 cup hot brewed coffee
Milk, whipped cream and additional ground cinnamon, optional
In a small bowl, combine the molasses, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon.
For each serving, place 2 teaspoons molasses mixture in a mug. Add 1 cup hot coffee; stir until combined. Serve with milk, whipped cream and cinnamon if desired.
Cover and store remaining molasses mixture in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Yield: 15 servings (2/3 cup molasses mixture).
