Warm Spiced Gingerbread Milk

Ingredients

1 quart oat milk (extra creamy version, if possible)

3/4 cup light brown sugar

2 tbsp molasses

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp ground clove

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Procedure

Combine oatmilk, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground black pepper, ground clove, and ground nutmeg in a medium sized saucepan. Whisk to combine, and cook over medium low heat stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes or until the spices have fully infused the oat milk.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth to remove spices and any cooked bits of oat milk that might’ve formed while heating.

Serve warm or cold over ice.

CHEF’S NOTE: This is a great base to a cocktail (add rum, bourbon or whiskey) or a flavorful addition to your morning coffee. Enjoy!
