How to Make Gingerbread Coffee

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup molasses, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the spice mixture for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Add 1/4 cup of freshly brewed hot coffee to each of your six mugs.
  4. Stir in about 1 tablespoon of the chilled molasses spice mixture into each mug until it dissolves completely.
  5. Fill each mug to within an inch of the top with more hot coffee.
  6. Stir in half-and-half or your preferred milk alternative to taste. Garnish generously with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cloves for an extra touch of festive flair.
