Categories: Hot Beverage, Slow Cooker

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

  1. 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).

  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours (or HIGH for 1-2 hours).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
