I am a coffee lover but a strong pass on the flavor creamers during the holiday season.
Take your coffee into the holiday spirit with your own ingredients straight from your pantry! A gingerbread mix to spice up your winter morning…or any morning!
Just like the Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix-In, you can add or skip any of the ingredients. Substutitute maple syrup for honey or agave, increase of decrease spices to your taste.
I have teamed up with Bluebonnet Coffee Co. this season to bring flavorful creations using this rare Texas blend! The morning cup of Joe starts with simply coffee. Black, straight, nada! I like it freshly brewed and each sip is just as smooth as the next. I like natural flavors start my day!
For my afternoon dip, I spiced up my cup with gingerbread flavors. The mix is pure genius and brings awareness to the favor without the cream. Let’s face it, we all love the Starbucks Gingerbread Latte, I am totally guilty, too! However, this combination of ingredients is just as nice and fewer calories! Not fat-free, but don’t worry I’m still watching your waist line!
Servings below on the recipes is stating 2 cups of coffee, a dollop in each cup. You don’t need too much of this mix, so it might stretch to 4.
Indulge and let me know how much you enjoyed this coffee or hot chocolate mix-in!
