Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup brewed espresso
1 cup boiling water
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Add the allspice, cinnamon, and ginger to the simple syrup and simmer for 5 minutes. Take pan off heat and set aside. To the 1 cup of brewed espresso, add 1 cup of boiling water. Pour 1/2 cup of espresso into each of 4 (6 to 8-ounce) serving cups. Add 2 tablespoons of the spiced simple syrup to each cup and stir to combine. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until stiff. Top each cup of espresso with a dollop of whipped cream. Dust with cinnamon and serve.

Better than Starbucks

This is a wonderful warm, spicy drink, BUT. . .it is very, very sweet. Two tablespoons of sugar syrup to four ounces of... Americano will put you in a sugar coma. I used two teaspoons of syrup to six ounces of coffee and it was perfect for my friends and family. The recipe is superb, so don't be afraid to adjust the syrup to coffee proportions to suit your individual taste. Enjoy!Read more
