Ingredients
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
a small pinch ground nutmeg
1 tsp (or more according to taste) soft brown sugar
2 drops vanilla essence or extract
60ml double espresso
250ml milk of your choice
to serve: vegan whipped cream
to sprinkle: crushed gingersnap biscuits
Instructions
Put the ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla into a mug or 300ml cup. Add the espresso and mix the ingredients into a wet syrupy paste (or you can use a drop of boiling water or hot milk to help the sugar dissolve).
Steam your milk. If you are not using a steam wand or milk frother, heat some milk in a pot or microwave and put it in a French press. Carefully plunge the filter in an up/down motion to push air through the hot milk to get foamy milk.
Pour heated, textured milk into your cup so that the syrup mixes with the milk. Dollop some whipped cream on top and dust with ginger and/or cinnamon. Add some crushed gingersnap biscuits on top for extra gingery goodness.
