6 cups hot brewed coffee
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the molasses, brown sugar, baking soda, ground ginger, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate the spice mixture for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.
- To assemble each cup, pour about 1/4 cup of hot coffee into a serving mug and stir in 1 tablespoon of the prepared spice mixture until fully dissolved.
- Fill the mug with more hot coffee, leaving room for cream, and stir in half-and-half to taste.
- Top with sweetened whipped cream and finish with a light sprinkle of ground cloves.
Notes
Use whole milk, heavy cream, or dairy-free creamer as desired.
Add more ginger or brown sugar for stronger flavor or sweetness.
A splash of vanilla extract adds bakery-style aroma.
Serve immediately after assembling for best texture.
