Hey Diane,

Now that tea sounds great!  I've never had Indian tea, but I had the real tea 
like they have in Vietnam and it was so good!  I don't know exactly ow the lady 
made it but I never made any that good.

I wanted to use the stove for the latte because my crock pot will be in use the 
day I wanted the latte.  I think I'll try it on the stove and see what happens. 
 I know less liquid and such is needed in the crock pot so I just wanted to 
make sure I didn't screw it up somehow.  <g<

Jennifer and Deb, 

I reread the recipe. I don't see any reason you couldn't cook this on the 
stovetop. I will do that. Just don't let it boil. If it boils for a few 
seconds, should be ok. I will make it with strongly brewed tea instead of 
coffee. I like Indian tea which is made with either half or all milk. I am 
guessing it should keep in the fridge for a few days. 

Diane

Yes I would like to know if this can be made other than the crock pot?
Can you store left overs in refrigerator?  
Thanks.

Hi,

Have you ever made this using the top of the stove?  If so, can you say how?  
I'll probably do it using the crock pot but I may end up making it on the stove.

Thanks,

Deb B.

CP Homemade Gingerbread Latte

Happy Wednesday, Slow Cookerers!

It's wet and rainy and sloppy and cold here today.

I know, I know. 

Where you are it's MUCH COLDER and I'm a wussy Californian.

;-)

Whatever. I'm still cold!

How will I heat myself up?

I'm so glad you asked! I will make a batch of Gingerbread latte --- HEAVILY 
caffeinated for myself, but I'll make it without the caffeine for the kids.

This is easy to make and is a fun Wednesday morning or chilly afternoon hot 
beverage.

You probably already have EVERYTHING in the house for this, which really means 
it's a win-win.

and you should tip yourself $4.25!

:-)

Homemade Gingerbread Latte

serves approx 4 

 

4 cups milk (cow's, almond, soy, rice, hemp, etc. is just fine.)

1/2 cup white sugar (I like Baker's sugar because it dissolves nicely)

you can also use your favorite sugar substitute like estivia etc...

2 teaspoons ground ginger

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

cinnamon stick, whipped cream for garnish (optional)

1/2 cup strong black coffee, or a freshly-brewed shot of espresso

 

The Directions. 

I used a 4 quart crockpot, you could get away with going as small as a 1.5 to 2 
quart.

 

Put the milk into your crockpot, and whisk in the dried spices. Don't add the 
coffee.

Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, or high for 1-2. The milk should be quite 
hot, but if your crockpot tends to get hot enough to boil, keep an eye on it. 
Don't let the milk boil.

Pour over hot coffee or espresso.

Garnish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick.

 

The Verdict.

These are wonderful. Very, very tasty. The kids each had a cup of the warm milk 
mixture with whipped cream and were delighted. 

 

Adam didn't get to try any, but I did save my mug for him to smell.

 

I'm thoughtful that way.

ENJOY!!

 

Happy Slow Cooking! stay warm and cozy!
