☕ Christmas Coffee ☕

1 cup freshly brewed coffee (hot)
1/4 cup milk (or your favorite milk alternative)
1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
1 tablespoon chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a dash of cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Brew the Coffee:
- Prepare a cup of your favorite coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or espresso).
Heat the Milk:
- In a small saucepan or microwave, heat the milk until warm. Froth it using a frother or whisk for a creamy texture (optional).
Mix the Spices:
- Stir the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (if using) into the hot coffee. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
Combine:
- Pour the frothed milk into the spiced coffee, stirring gently.
Top and Garnish:
- Add a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings, cinnamon, or festive sprinkles for a holiday touch.
Serve:
- Serve immediately in your favorite holiday mug and enjoy the warm, festive flavors!

For an indulgent twist, use half milk and half heavy cream instead of plain milk.
Add a splash of Irish cream, amaretto, or peppermint schnapps for an adult version.
Pair with Christmas cookies for the ultimate treat!

Enjoy your cozy Christmas Coffee and spread the holiday cheer! ☃️✨
