Ingredients
- 4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong black coffee, per serving (or 1 shot brewed espresso, per serving)
- cinnamon stick
- whipped cream
Directions
-
Use a 2-quart slow cooker; add the milk to the stoneware; whisk in the dried spices, sugar, and vanilla (do not add the coffee).
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours (or HIGH for 1-2 hours).
-
The milk should be quite hot, but if your slow cooker tends to get hot enough to boil, keep an eye on it—don’t let the milk boil.
-
Pour hot coffee into mug, then pour in milk mixture (leave room for garnish); top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick.
