It’s beginning to feel a little more like autumn! And this Vanilla Spice Coffee is a great beverage to enjoy on a cool fall morning. It’s not a super-sweet coffee drink, so if you prefer it sweeter you can add more sugar. The vanilla-cinnamon-nutmeg flavors taste really good together and if you add some whipped cream on top, you just may feel like you’re at your favorite coffeehouse!
Some of the cinnamon and nutmeg may not totally dissolve in the coffee as you’re making this, but just blend it as well as you can. I think the whipped cream topping with the additional sprinkle of cinnamon really makes this special—and you can use light whipped cream if you’re watching calories!
Vanilla Spice Coffee
VANILLA SPICE COFFEE by NancyC
Makes 2 servings
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup light cream (Half & Half)
1 1/2 Tablespoons granulated sugar (or a little more, to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) of hot, strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream and ground cinnamon for garnish
Combine milk, light cream, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan and stir well. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until sugar dissolves (or you can heat in the microwave, in a medium size microwave-safe bowl with a lip, for 45 to 60 seconds).
Remove from heat and stir in hot coffee and vanilla (you can taste it at this point and if you’d like it sweeter, add more sugar).
Pour into coffee mugs; garnish with whipped cream and a light sprinkling of ground cinnamon, and serve.
