Holiday Spice Flat White Recipe
A warm, balanced Holiday Spice Flat White made with real espresso, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and silky steamed milk. The spices melt into the coffee to create a cozy, winter-ready drink that’s smooth, comforting, and perfect for cold mornings without feeling heavy or overly sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 Shots espresso or 3–4 oz very strong brewed coffee
- 1 Cup milk (whole or oat)
- 1 Tsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- ¼ Tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ Tsp ground nutmeg
- A small pinch of clove
- A small pinch of ginger
- Optional: splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brew your espresso or strong coffee.
- Add brown sugar and all spices to your mug.
- Pour the espresso over the spices and stir until everything melts together.
- Warm your milk until just steaming, then froth lightly until it reaches a smooth, velvety texture.
- Pour the milk slowly over the spiced espresso, letting the microfoam settle naturally.
- Add a tiny dusting of cinnamon if you want the café look.
Notes
Notes
- Add a touch of vanilla for a softer, sweeter finish.
- Use oat milk for a naturally buttery, cookie-like flavor.
- Double the ginger and cinnamon if you want a sharper, spicier profile.
- For an iced version, shake the milk with spices before pouring over espresso and ice.
