Gingerbread Latte

Whisk in the remaining milk in additions until incorporated, then heat through until steaming. This is just so decadent and wholesome. Find the full recipe here. Put a shot of espresso in each glass (if using) and top up with the spiced milk. Top drink with with whipped cream, extra spices and a mini gingerbread man.
Malted Hot Cocoa with Toasted Marshmallows
We all know that for those of you living in the Northern Hemisphere, hot chocolate (or cocoa) is synonymous with Christmas. But to be honest, here in Asian regions too there’s nothing we want less than hot chocolate on a chill winter’s day during the festive season. A sprinkling of crushed candy cane lends a festive touch to this creamy hot cocoa…or place a chocolate mint candy cane in each drink mug as a stirrer. A spoonful of marshmallow crème tops steaming homemade cocoa with rich chocolate flavour and a hint of spice. Place the marshmallows on a foil-lined boiler proof baking sheet and broil until just golden, about 30 seconds for toasting. Find the full recipe here!
Hot Pumpkin Spice Drink
If you’re looking for something cozy, this Hot Pumpkin Spice Drink is exactly what you need! It’s delicious in the morning as a coffee substitute, and comforting in the evening when you need to wind down and relax. You can think of it as a hot chocolate made with pumpkin, or a pumpkin spice latte without the espresso. In either case, don’t skimp on the whipped cream. Get this awesome recipe here. We’ve lit a scented candle, so there’s a bit of yellow glow in the corner of my eye and the faint sweet smell of pine. It’s all quite perfect, though I think I might need to just shut down the computer, relax and enjoy the hygge.
